Quality is obviously there and the steel feels bomber. Instructions were basically useless, had to figure out the install myself.
Solid piece of steel and fits the Cayenne perfectly. Only knock is it took nearly three weeks to show up.
No complaints about the build quality or how it fits, just a little steep for what it is. Does the job though.
My Touareg sees rough terrain weekly and this skid plate finally lets me stop worrying about the tank. Really well made.
Bolted right up with no drama. Been through some nasty rocky trails and zero damage to the tank. Very happy with this.
