Get them from the main dealer, it's cheap. on my car the standard m8 size won't go in

M8x1.25

Anodized 16 mm long from Home Depot will work for plastic plate, for IPD aluminum you need like 40 mm for the rear bolt and two on the side.

Thank you for your time and interest. I'm going with plastic so it should be simple.

I went with M8 1.25 stainless from Lowes - the crap stainless - and I greased them up so I can get the pan off after winter

Would it be advantageous to add the skid pan to a vehicle without one?

Engine compartment will be less dirty and slightly more hot.

Steel/aluminum skid plate is absolutely must if the car leaves paved roads from time to time.
