Factory Skid Plate
I just had some work done and the factory skid plate area does not look right to me. I am not sure if they left something out when they put it back together or mounted it incorrectly. Could someone please post an image of the area between the bottom of the front bumper and the front axle on a stock 4th gen or post a link to one. Mine is an '03...not sure if they have changed much in that area over the years, but any help would be much appreciated. Sorry to start a new post about this, but I have searched like crazy and cannot find what I am looking for.

I don't have a picture but the skid plate has two "hangers" that slide into slots at the front and then it just bolts up with four bolts. Maybe they didn't get the hangers in the slots right before they bolted it back up?

More like hooks than hangers I'd say but ya, if those don't make it in the correct slot on the frame, it would screw up how the skid plate is mounted.

Thank you for the feedback.

One more question: Is the front skid plate one piece or is there an inner section with an outer shell?

My parking garage at work happens to have a few other 4th gens in it, so I got the chance to look under a couple of them and verified that my skid plate area is right and nothing is wrong or missing (I can only imagine what the security guys were thinking if they were watching the cameras). I have no faith in anyone when it comes to work done on my vehicles, which is what led to the doubt. Thank you again for the replies.
