Doesn't fit 2008 Audi A4 Quattro properly	October 19, 2018
Reviewer: Cole Harris from Maple Ridge, BC Canada

Overall I liked the quality of this product but found it does not fit properly in my 2008 A4 Quattro. 2 of the 5 bolts that hold the plate up don't line up to the speed clips. One of them I'll have to drill out and the other is roughly 2 inches away from the plate itself. I will have to fabricate another piece to completely bolt up the plate. Not trashing the product just would have been nice to know it doesn't fit the 2008 A4 Quattro out of the box.

Thanks for making a kick-ass product	June 5, 2018
Reviewer: Kyle from ON, Canada

Overall, I'm happy with how quickly this item shipped out and Canada Post did their job to ensure it arrived in the same condition it left your hands. Opening up the package, I was impressed of the quality of everything, I'm happy to know there were more than enough pieces for installation. Ps, the website looks great and is easy to navigate! Installation instructions - easy to read, straight forward (pictures make everything easier!!), and a nice video to demonstrate installation of the rivet nuts. I was afraid that some stuff wouldnt line up exactly (lowered car with a banged up subframe), but everything did exactly. Installation probably took about 20 minutes, less time than it took to finish my beer. Overall, I'm extremely happy with your product, the hardware you guys provided, and the simple install instructions. This is something I would recommend to anyone. Thanks for making a kick-ass product. I'm very happy with the service you and your team has provided for me.

Great Product, Great Customer Service!	January 25, 2017
Reviewer: ANDREW JOHNSON from ROCHESTER, NY United States

The Product:
I am using this skid plate for SCCA Rally X and TSD Rally. It is extraordinarily strong, having taken hits (at speed) from rocks, ruts, ice chunks, and jumps without issue. If it can handle what I put it through, it will handle anything you come across on your commute.

The Customer Service:
I wanted to be absolutely sure that the skid plate would be up to the task. I gave them a call and spoke with Neil. I told him what I would be doing with it, and asked for any advice he may have to make the set up as solid as possible. He suggested a couple of minor mounting changes and some upgraded riv nuts. During install I noticed a slight fitment issue, that wouldn't have been a big deal if I wasn't pounding on it as hard as I knew I would be. I contacted Neil again, and he went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with the end result. I am currently battling for first in class because I have the confidence to attack the rough sections like I never have before.

Fits 2004 S4 Avant - V8 Manual - Easy Install	February 24, 2016
Reviewer: Jonathan

As noted in the title, fits a 2004 S4 Avant with v8 and manual transmission. For sure you need the 3/4" spacer kit, and I actually needed to 'stack' two of the standard 1/2" spacers for the front bolt, as the 3/4" wasn't quite tall enough to clear the inter-cooler bar. Generally it was easy to install (maybe 20-30mins) and it's really solid under there. It's too bad that they've pre-cut the potential holes for the oil-plug as I'd rather have the plate solid. Also, on my vehicle, the oil plug is on the opposite side anyway, so even if I wanted an oil-plug hole, it wouldn't be where the pre-drilled holes are. It was also easy to 'trim' the transmission splash-guard (extra plastic behind the plastic skid plate that the THOR replaces) and then re-attach it to the THOR with the speed clips that attached it to the original plastic skid plate. There are pre-drilled holes in the back of the THOR plate, perhaps for this purpose. So my transmission area is also still protected from the elements (plastic still, but better than nothing I think)

Best purchase for ease of mind	October 4, 2015
Reviewer: Ryan B.

A friend bought one of these awhile ago and with his slammed B5 we would rip road turtles off the freeway and not a scratch on the plate! I bought one and had it installed in less then 15min! amazing product!!! I also wasn't paying attention and didn't buy the thicker spacer kit for my S4 but they called me to remind me I will need it! They go above and beyond to help you!

BAD ASS SKID PLATE	February 19, 2015
Reviewer: Ian

Great product and really impressed by the quality, no issues so far except for the rivet nut could be better quality, be careful not to strip the threads as I did. I also used the spare speed clips to secure my front valence directly to the skid plate. Now I feel protected with a real bad ass skid plate, it's not like the cheap plastic OEM. Thx Evolution and keep up the good work!

Great product, just missing one thing!	February 15, 2015
Reviewer: Ben Tuominen

Instructions! Seriously, the only draw back to this product is the lack of installation instructions shipping with the unit. I understand it's the digital age and all but after paying $300 for a skidplate some form of installation info would be useful, otherwise, one hell of a thick m-effing skidplate. I need motor mounts so I get some vibration, next on the list.
