CORKSPORT Mazdaspeed 3 & Mazda 3 Skidplate 10-13
Gain extra
protection from rocks, road debris, and those pesky speed bumps with the
CorkSport Aluminum Skid Plate for GEN 1 and GEN 2 Mazdaspeed 3 and Mazda 3.
The OEM plastic
splash shields do little in the way of actual protection and are prone to
breakage from the smallest hit. Gain peace of mind in your lowered Mazda
without losing any ground clearance or cooling efficiency.
Fitment Inspired
The CorkSport
Aluminum Skid Plate was CAD designed to fit like OEM and mount in OEM
locations. This means an easy install with no drilling or struggling to align
it with mounting holes. The two-piece design is an improvement over the older
CorkSport one-piece design as it offers better hole alignment and more adjustability
for variations in the plastic bumpers. In some cases, the CorkSport Skid Plate
can even help a sagging bumper as it is much sturdier than the OEM splash
shields.
Ideal for Modified Rides
Whether you are
still stock ride height or lowered, dealing with speed bumps, pot holes, and
road debris can be concerning with the limited protection of the OEM plastic
splash guards. The CorkSport Skid Plate offers much better protection with its
aluminum construction and even gains some ground clearance due to its angled
design. In addition, the CS skid plate keeps engine bay temperatures the same
or slightly lower than the OEM to keep your Mazda healthy. Lastly, if you are
running a CorkSport Lower Tie Bar or FMIC kit, do not worry; they fit great
with the skid plate!
Manufacturing & Hardware
The CorkSport
skid tray is laser cut from 11 gauge (0.090”) aluminum and then precision
formed for an easy install on MS3 or MZ3. Each kit comes with everything you
need for installation, including high strength hardware. We even use Torx (star
bit) screws on the removable oil filter access cover to ensure the screws will
not strip after repeated oil changes.
