Frequently Asked Questions

+ Why do I need a skid plate for my catalytic converter?

The catalytic converter is a critical and expensive component of your exhaust system. Located on the undercarriage, it is highly vulnerable to damage from rocks, logs, and other trail debris. A direct impact can lead to costly repairs and leave you stranded. This skid plate provides a vital layer of protection against such hazards.

+ Is the 1/4" aluminum strong enough for serious off-roading?

Absolutely. While steel is heavier, our 1/4" marine-grade aluminum is incredibly robust. The key to its strength lies in the deep-stamped manufacturing process, which adds reinforcing ribs and structural rigidity. This allows it to withstand significant impacts while offering the benefits of lighter weight and superior corrosion resistance.

+ Can I install this with the factory Lexus engine skid plate?

No. This 1/4-inch thick skid plate is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with the RIVAL 1/4-inch thick engine skid plate for a complete and robust underbody protection system. It is not compatible with the thinner 5/32-inch factory Lexus engine skid plate.

+ Will this skid plate reduce my ground clearance?

The RIVAL skid plate is designed to fit snugly against the vehicle's underbody, following its contours precisely. As a result, any reduction in ground clearance is minimal and the smooth surface actually helps your vehicle slide over obstacles more easily than it would with exposed components.

California Residents

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.

The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov
