You're going to be on your own on that one. I've never heard of aftermarket companies making skidplates other than for Jeeps/Trucks/Offroading.

i previously owned a slammed Mk IV Jetta and i know a company called Mason-Tech made them for my jetta and some other makes and models but im not sure exactly which ones. Maybe you should contact them and see if they could build you one. This thought crossed my mind at one point for my V6 but i never got a skid plate on my jetta and never cracked a pan so i never really put much thought into it otherwise. Just google Mason-Tech skidplates and you should be able to find contact info. Hopefully Helpful

I understand your concern, but don't forget the law of unintended consequences. If you attach a skid plate, it's going to be attached to an area of the unibody that is not designed to absorb any impact the plate will transfer. You might want to think about what's worse, a dented oil pan or a bent frame. And to others, maybe consider a little forethought into what the results will be if you lower your car to the point where you might need something like this. I get that it's all about the look, but you have to be able to drive the thing too (I assume, unless it's a parking lot queen).

Skidplates

Ive always found it really hard to find the skidplates for anything other than offroad trucks or small lowered trucks..However..sometimes if you search long and hard you can find something...
However i found one for my last car here ..
