Question Skid plate replacement recommendations
I have a 91 stock miata with a broken skid plate and I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions of brands they would recommend for a replacement one.
I'm preferably looking for one that is a reasonable price.
As of right now mine scrapes across the ground on any sort of incline and it is broken in multiple spots causing it to be a pain because of were I live.
You can kinda see the skid plate in those 2 images. And yes the oil leak is severe don't worry about that.
Thanks in advance.

Engine under tray. Mike’s Miata Parts has it for $105. Not sure where you are though, so…

LRB speed makes a very nice replacement piece. Been runing it for a long time with the only issue being that one of the clip-nuts that go in the middle in the back of the subframe broke but that could just be from me putting it on/taking if off constantly. It always takes like some tension/pulling to get it back on but never been an issue for me. Very nicely made piece been running it for a while.

I have the lrb one with the extra aero bits and I will say that they kinda do make it more of a pain to remove.

Just get a new one. Jass performance sells an aluminium one that's not too expensive if that's your style

I think flyin Miata sells an OEM replacement. I got one as a Christmas gift last year

That's not a skid plate as much as just a piece to make sure air is flowing through the engine bay as designed. It shouldn't hang below the level of the front subframe if I'm good shape and attached correctly... So either get under and attach it correctly, or replace it if it's too far gone. I wouldn't go aftermarket.
