Front Skid Plate Availability

I wonder if it will protect the AC compressor I see multiple people having to replace due to rocks puncturing/damaging it.
 
This discussion topic is a bit old but I was curious to know if anyone installed the front skid plates and can share pictures. Also if you have side steps installed I'd love to see pictures of those too. Thanks.

No pics of skid plate, but here's some photos of the side steps.

 
I ordered one, just got the vehicle a few days ago and no skid plate. Didn't appear to be on the sticker so my guess is you cannot buy a 2020 Kia Telluride with a skid plate. Also my price went up $1k and they added an illuminated steps on either side that I didn't order. Good stuff.

I am interested to see the illuminated steps if you can upload a few pictures. Also pictures of your car would be nice too. I am planning to get this next year once my lease ends.

That's pretty sketchy if Kia's doing that, kinda glad my dealer talked me out of it and convinced me to just get it as an accessory, been meaning to order it but now wonder if it's even real lol.
 
Looks like a big gap in the middle, not sure how useful that will be. Is there already a metal plate under the engine?
 
I've noticed this option being installed on vehicles being produced this week while browsing window stickers in failcat. Maybe we'll finally get some info/pics on this skid plate here shortly.
 
The dealer said they were able to order it with mine. They called yesterday, the factory picked up my order and it should be in around 9/18. Hopefully with a skid plate installed. :)
 
Nice. Be sure to post pics of this elusive beast! Lol

Here it is installed. Easy install and would have been faster than the 30 minutes it took if not working from a garage floor.
It is nice quality and should offer some extra protection but if not, eye candy.

Nice job. I saw one on a sticker on failcat today, so it looks like they are finally starting to put these on at the factory also
 
Sweet. Does it show from a standing view? Maybe if the vehicle had a lift itd be noticeable. Thanks for posting
