Good point. About having the vehicle serviced and having to remove that. With the heat from the area I live in, I think I'm going to put this off for quite some time. Maybe I'll just have to wait until I get something else damaged and then seriously consider it. Of course, I may never have something severely damaged underneath

There are many sensitive areas under the chassis that are subject damage should some nasty road debris decide to attack, problem is, you cannot reasonably skid plate the entire undercarriage.
