Default Skid Plates for the IS250/350

I've been looking around for for some steel/aluminum skid plates to throw under my IS250 for the winter season. I drive the car in the winter from time to time for distance drives and I'm going to be doing some big long trips through the mountains this year. So, I'm looking for something to protect my vitals while I'm ripping down back roads on the white stuff.

I'm planning on raising up my coilover to the highest possible point that's still safe and throwing on some Rallyarmor mud guards. I already have a set of studded winters to put on it. I'm curious about going full on winter rally spec for the season. I have some plans for some plastidip protection too on the high risk areas for chips like lips and rockers etc.

If anyone has any idea where to get skid plates, the tip would be much appreciated. Otherwise, I'll be making one myself

Haven't seen one being manufactured, but someone did make one for the 1IS if you need ideas! lol

Your best bet is a universal kit or a DIY out of aluminum.

GL!

Hmmm... I may into the garage to fire up the grinder and the torches. I like the idea of the little rail thing to keep the car up, but I'm mostly worried about a rock or a chunk of ice demolishing something underneath. I want to basically replace the plastic under the car with a metal replacement.
