I don't have my b5 yet (just looked at it today, couple issues getting worked on over the weekend), but in aledlic42's timeline thread, he spoke highly of this skid plate, so look into it.

Get that plate Bri. I have it and it takes a beating on the reg. Get it, worth the $250. I would have busted at least 4 oil pans by not if I didn't have it.
