Not aware of any skidplate on the ISx50 cars. Generally skid plates are on 4x4's with offroad capabilities.

Couldn't weigh that much. Either way, it shouldn't determine whether or not you remove the spare.

Agreed, better to carry lighter passengers, lol.

That's what I thought too. But when I went to talk about prices for this part I got on my hands and knees to look where it would go, the dealer was on the other side and he said "Oh look! You have a skid plate! That's why you can't see anything under there!"

Looked underneath and sure enough, it's partly covered up.

Looked at other cars there and they didnt' have it.
