The tunnel brace would be good for protecting the exhaust from thieves. They will cut anything that remotely resembles a catalytic converter. You will be surprised how many people are missing their resonator because of it.

of all my upgrades, This is the best

[@yAsiinB]

Nice

[@kenaiiVRB]

i would scrape everywere with this kit :p spacers and overall thickness would almost take my ground clearance! but what a nice bolt on kit!, good for air ride or heavy roads and yes.. i'm here because i destroyed my bellypan EHEHEHE

[@TheRicardoMilos]

I am guessing the hardware kit has been updated to no longer include the spacers? My kit and the kit on the site no linger show the spacers included.

Would it be possible to retrofit this to a 2019 Tiguan SE 4motion? Need some extra protection while overlanding.

[@tanc0hd175]

Would the reinforced skid plate fit a 2019 sportwagon 1.8T 4motion

[@joxer]

Lost an engine in my A3 due to highway debris. Would this fit a 2015 A3? I also have a 2019 Golf R so this is still interesting either way.

Can the oil drain plug still be accessed? Or does the street shield have to come off?

[@ecstuning]

You will need to remove the Shield to access the drain plug.

[@Audisport99]

Will this work with a 3 inch down pipe 🤔?? In a audi a3 quattro?

[@ecstuning]

If your down pipe doesn't go below you oil pan.

[@Sinister_Joe]

Does it fit on a 2019 facelift golf gti performance?

[@ecstuning]

Yes it does! 👍

[@snoopy5736]

Im on about 20 oil pans on my b5.5 passat. Speed humps and driveways

[@casanovacabrera6043]

Lmao on the last video i saw u were on 14 oil pans ... maybe it's time for a street shield

[@snoopy5736]

@@casanovacabrera6043 i have a new one for back up. I've also jb welded it a couple times

[@sixoh_diesel5662]

Think this would work on my Alltrack?

[@ecstuning]

It fits the Gen 3 1.8T Alltracks

[@dogchainsaw3923]

Make a street shield for my 1995 Audi S6 plz.

[@chesterm1306]

Should have added an extra panel that allows for easy access to the drain plug.

[@jenny80myles]

You can pump the oil out from up top.

[@ecstuning]

Boom. Schwaben Fluid Extractor: bit.ly/3xBymys

[@jo8737]

Yeah I agree. If you don’t want to take the shield down, you either cut an access drain port in the shield or you buy an oil extractor and do it all topside.

He did not just say that.
