Is the Plastic Steel Guard Plate Just Plastic?

[BraydenFitz]

It is a special type of plastic, so there's no need to worry about spontaneous combustion. Expansion: Plastic Steel Guard Plate: Steel plate material is currently the most chosen by car owners, primarily due to its affordable price. Another obvious advantage is its hardness—daily driving with sand and gravel kicked up by tires poses no threat to it. Even occasional undercarriage scraping won't cause damage, and even severe scraping will only result in minor deformation. However, the disadvantages of this product are also quite evident. The biggest drawback is its weight. A weight of 20 to 30 pounds will inevitably have some impact on fuel consumption. Additionally, in severe accidents, steel plates tend to deform rather than break easily, which not only affects the safe downward displacement of the engine during an accident but also poses a risk of damaging the engine first due to the deformation of the steel plate during a collision. Thus, it indeed has both pros and cons. Advantages: Strong impact resistance, affordable price. Disadvantages: Heavy weight, no elasticity, affects engine displacement, prone to resonance.
