This is a good money maker for the one who comes up with a good kit. Personally, I am going to make a few skid plates...one out of SS and the other out of 4130. I am not to crazy about the aluminum skid plates unless they are made of strong aluminum, not 6061ish grades of aluminum.
That would be like a 50 lb skidplate, unless you make it out of 1/8" thick material... but it will still be pretty heavy. Aluminum does fine when it is the correct thickness. You will lift your suspension before you break the aluminum, as long as it attached to the car correctly.
SS and chromoly are also prohibitively expensive.
Good luck with it though, show us some pics when you are done.
 
Good info here. I started looking at skid plates a few months ago when I bashed my sump into the ground in the twistys. I was lucky it didnt break or crack. Now it just has huge scars on the bottom of it.
