RA Motorsports' Aluminum Front Skid Plate shields the Forester's engine from rocks and impacts on the trail, built from 3/16 inch 5052 marine-grade aluminum for real strength without excess weight. It's CNC laser-cut and formed for a precise, direct-fit install, with hardware included and no cutting or drilling required. The low-profile shape keeps ground clearance loss to a minimum despite the added protection. Fits 1997-2002 and 2009-2013 Forester in N/A or turbo form plus the 2004-2005 Forester XT, with a 3 to 4 week lead time since each one is built to order. We ship this from our Calgary shop across Canada.
