Product Description
When it comes to protecting your Ford Mustang, most people think about hoods, bumpers, and maybe even car covers. But let’s not forget the unsung hero lurking underneath—the lower guard plate. Designed specifically for the 2015–2017 Mustang, this essential piece of armor shields your car’s vital organs from the harsh reality of the road.
Think about all the stuff your Mustang drives over—gravel, water, potholes, speed bumps. Without a proper guard plate, your oil pan, sensors, and even the transmission are vulnerable to damage. It’s like wearing sneakers without soles—just plain risky.
The lower guard plate (also called a belly pan, engine splash shield, or skid plate) mounts under the front of your Mustang and acts as a shield for the engine bay. It keeps out debris, dirt, and moisture, while also helping with airflow and structural rigidity.

Product Specification
About
This lower guard plate is precision-engineered for 6th-generation Ford Mustangs made between 2015 and 2017. That includes:
Mustang EcoBoost
Mustang V6
Mustang GT
Most guard plates are designed to fit all factory trims. However, make sure you choose a plate that accommodates your specific engine size and whether or not you have aftermarket modifications like long tube headers or a lowered suspension.
The lower guard plate serves multiple purposes:
Shields the oil pan, transmission, and sensors
Prevents road debris from damaging sensitive components
Keeps out water and mud
You might also see it labeled as:
Engine splash shield
Skid plate
Belly pan
Despite the name variations, they serve the same function.
Plastic (ABS or PP): Lightweight and inexpensive, but less durable
Aluminum: Lightweight with better strength and corrosion resistance
Steel: Extremely durable, heavier, and ideal for off-road or rough conditions
For most daily drivers, ABS plastic is fine. If you’ve lowered your Mustang or take it on spirited drives often, aluminum or steel might be a better investment.
Rocks, gravel, and debris can easily chip away at your oil pan or crack wiring harnesses. The guard plate is like a helmet for your engine.
Believe it or not, the guard plate also contributes to smoother airflow underneath the car, which can slightly boost stability and even help gas mileage.
There are many electrical connectors and modules beneath your Mustang. The plate keeps moisture and dirt away—especially helpful during rainy seasons.
Cracked or broken plate
Missing bolts or clips
Rattling noises while driving
Plate scraping the road
If you see any of these symptoms, it's time for a new one.
Clean your guard plate during oil changes. Check for cracks, missing bolts, or signs of scraping.
Take care around curbs, speed bumps, and steep driveways. Lowered Mustangs should be extra cautious.
Many Mustang owners say they feel more secure after installing a guard plate—especially after scraping or bottoming out previously.
Absolutely. The number of damaged oil pans, exposed wiring, and soaked electronics drops significantly with a proper guard plate in place.
If you're serious about protecting your 2015–2017 Ford Mustang, don’t overlook the lower guard plate. It’s like giving your car armor in the spots that need it most. Affordable, easy to install, and packed with benefits—it’s a smart upgrade every Mustang owner should consider.
