the nice thing about the skid plate in the initial video is that it also protects the radiator mount, unlike the factory skid plate which looks like it only protects the oil pan. My radiator was cracked from just such an impact right under the bumper, I wonder if your can just add to the factory plate going forwards to provide the protection?
heres a pic of the damage that destroyed my radiator, notice how all it really did was deform that support between the two radiator grommets, but it was enough the stress the plastic bottom and cause it the leak at the stress points.

what a stroke of luck, nice find! Can you take a profile picture of it for those of us who might try and make one based on these pics?
