Cover for oil cooler up front

Has anyone found a skid plate yet for the front cooler? I had my PPF installed yesterday and while on the lift I looked under and saw how exposed and unprotected it is. All it takes is a brick, large stick, or pipe in the road to crack a hole in it.

It's hit & miss whether the city safety cone is there, but can you imagine hitting this at night?!

Exactly, that or any decent size/weight object would destroy the oil cooler. Such a bad placement for it, I wish I could have optioned ZTK with just the wheels and brakes.

I'm pretty sure everyone has an oil cooler, ZTK or not. The ZTK gets you a transmission cooler, but I'm not sure which one that is at the bottom of the car?

We are talking about a serious chunk of steel if youd like to be able to skip the oil cooler over that without it failing! I think even cars without an undertray oil cooler would lose their oil pan to that if they dont have crossmember in front of it.

Oh, you'd lose the transmission cooler, oil pan, transmission, driveshaft, and rear diff. And that dangerous city titty has been there for months!
