Will this affect ground clearance?

Skid plates add a small thickness vs the OEM panel they replace, but are designed to sit flush to the chassis frame. Net change is usually less than 1/4".

Are gaskets / hardware included?

Yes. The kit ships with stainless mounting hardware. Reuse OEM gaskets where applicable.

Will this fit a lifted Cayenne?

Yes — the skid plate uses OEM mounting locations regardless of suspension height. Lift kits and these skid plates pair well.

Can I install it myself?

Most owners can install this with hand tools and a jack. Allow 1–2 hours per skid plate.

What is the lead time?

Made-to-order. Build time is confirmed at the time of order.

Description

Paradox Performance Engine & Transmission Skid Plate for 958 Porsche Cayenne (Formerly E-Motion Engineering)

The Paradox Performance front engine and transmission skid plate for the 958 Porsche Cayenne is CNC cut and bent from 3/16″ aluminum and bolts directly to the factory mounting locations on the 958 chassis, covering the engine oil pan and transmission case against the rocks, stumps, and trail debris that would otherwise reach OEM components. Steel M8 bosses are welded into the subframe for solid attachment, and the front 1.5″ steel tube support is built with couplers so transmission service doesn’t require pulling the entire skid plate. Works with or without upgraded steel tube bumpers, and no cutting or modification is required for installation. Sold as a complete kit, made in the USA.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
