My sport is missing its factory rear most underbody skid plate. I might venture into taking the little beast off road some and would like to have the option to put the factory plates back on. I have the front most one, but it did not come with the rear most one. anyone have one laying around they don't want or have a source to buy one... I've only seen them overseas.. not sure what that would cost to import... LOL!

You're looking for the smaller of the two with the three parallel vents correct? I replaced mine recently because the original had a few small punctures but is entirely functional. I'll snap a pic for you.

You want to sell it? I'm in georgia. What would you want for it? Worst case I will use it before I off road for a template to make a stronger version. But something is better then nothing!

I just got mine back from powder coating. They needed a touch up, and were easy to remove so figured why not, and allowed us to run a trial to see how the new color will look on my rims. WOW they look great, kinda a waste since they will be hardly seen. not sure about picture quality, but they are ultra smooth, 2 double layers of black, and 2 blue tinted clear coat layers with blue metalic flakes. so look almost black except when the light hits them. Can't wait till I have my new tires so I can get my rims done. BTW both plates are done. Currently he has my tow hitch, tow hooks, a few other brackets which he is about to do, while I am touching up the little bit of surface rust underneath, and repainting the underside. When all is said and done hoping to make my beast last a few more years in this crazy salt area. All the while adding a unique custom touches to tie all the blue together.

Looks like they're about $61 from OEMMitsubishi.com (MR234785)
$55 from Parts.com was the best price I saw for the OEM part.

not horrible.... but a lot if it really does not protect... Sounds like junkyard searches are the way to go. So I guess I will try and do some local searching for adequate steel and maybe get lucky and find someone who will bend without charging an arm and a leg.

I'll see what it would cost for shipping my old one out there and let you know. It's just collecting dust right now.

One thing I noticed, I removed my spare tire, and I removed the skid plates. I assumed that the decreased weight would translate to increased MPG. I was mistaken, it decreased actually. So besides keeping dust out and a little bit of water out of the engine bay, it also redirects the air.
