Default Skid plates or underbody protection

Does anyone know if you can purchase skid plates or underbody protection for a 2008 Mustang? I can see a lot of exposed tubing and wires under my Mustang that would be prown to damage from road hazards. Thanks in advance for any replys.

I dont think so that kinda more of a off road thing. You best bet is to just zip tie them together and get them higher up in the car.

Mounted under the spare tire well is a unit with some hard lines and wiring running to it. These look like they could be snagged easily. I'l try and take some pictrues and post them. I have a 2008 so if anyone else does then they will have them too. i also looked at a 2009 and they have them also.

hal, i agree, thats not a very tidy looking area under there. that engineer must have been on vacation when they had to start building. my 05 and my g/f`s 06 are the same. those hoses hang down some and just plain dont look good.
