More dealership fun

Soooooo, today I went to get my inspection and I had a free oil change too, so I said why not. Well, I always check my skid plates when I get home to make sure they were put back together properly. Spoiler alert, they weren't put back together properly at all. My oil pan skid plate (the black one) was completely hanging off the truck and missing a bolt and washer also. Im missing the front bolt for the front of the black skid which would mean it would be the rear bolt of the silver skid with the H3 on it. Anyone know where I could get one of those? And one more question, what is the proper set up of the two skid plates? Is the silver one supposed to be over the black skid where they meet, or is the black one supposed to be over the silver skid.

Safe to say its the last time I take my car there, I have been going there since I got my license.

I think the silver goes over the black one. That way you don't can't the front of the black one on something and rip it off

Alright, I figured that was the right way, it makes more sense. When I got home the black one was on the outside and literally hanging from the truck.

You'll want M8 x 1.25 bolts, preferably SEMS (integrated washer) bolts with a tapered head. I replaced all of mine with these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0040CYVV8/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They are longer so that helps get them started when you have bent skid plates. All are 10 mm head smaller than the OEM and I replaced all so at least the head size is consistent. They are a softer metal so they wear out more quickly, but the good thing is that it's a box of 25
