I forget the company that makes them, but basically they are aftermarket oem pieces, but don't fit 100%. I remember people replacing their slash shields on here.

Try sending a msg to Corsport. I've seen oem splash shields being sold there. Contact them and see how much it would cost.

Let me know the price. I'm looking for one too

I have a good size sheet of 1/8" thick treadplate aluminum that i was thinking about using to make one.
I had fabbed one up several years ago for my S13 but the welding shop/metal worker that I used for the bends and minor welding has since shut down. I contacted another shop with a bending brake (or laithe depending on your upbringing) but that fool charges $15 a bend. Not unreasonable, but I figure at least to creases will be needed.
Not much help I realize, but if it helps any, I have been using the forward splash shield off an EM. Fits well enough with most of the holes lining up. The only exception is that big knot right below the front motor mount. I had to cut out sone clearance for that.

not bad, so it says it helps temps, and aerodynamics but will it protect my undercarriage? i think it well.

5806 oil pan sits near the open fins i will try to take some pictures tomorrow.oil pan is covered. what you see in the open spot is so that you can jack up the car at the jack point. when its lowered the open area in the middle is covered up with a plate also.

the skid plate covers from just behind the radiator all the way to just in front of the catalytic converter. totally covering the whole subframe. its held in by 4 screws and it slides off so fairly easy

I wonder if this would fit under the aluminum oil pans?

i think it will fit because the rsx type s has alum oil pan and they sell one for them only difference i saw was front portion on rsx is different the front slides on. The only diff i see is if you moved your engine lower or more forward
