I've learned having a intact skid plate is imperitive to keep dirt off the engine.

True though, the best design depends on your commute.

In my setup it has replaced the ac condenser. It's right in front so it get all cool air at speed, but it's harnessed to the radiator so at idle they can share heat and help bring the operating temp to where it needs to be.
