On a Honda Accord, for example, a new bumper can cost upwards of $800, not including labor. By installing bumper skid plates and guards, you can effectively avoid wasting a lot of time and money.
If you use your vehicle for the purposes it is made for, the best skid plate option is your Honda Civic’s factory engine cover plate, also known as the engine splash shield. Where many vehicles come with fragile skid plates without many purposes besides keeping water away from your engine, Honda Civic’s factory engine cover plate is of higher quality.
