remote oil filter shield
 
Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket version of the plastic shield protecting the remote oil filter area on 2003 blazer?. recently purchased the Blazer (My second, first one was an 86 lovd it)
when i noticed a few drops of oil on the driveway , upon investigation i discovered the remote oil filter and the protective shield. The shield is [pretty beat up and i;d like to replace it but cant seem to find any listings for one.. Was considering taking it off and producing a fibreglass copy using it as a form, but that's time consuming and messy lol. Could try the junk yards but haven't had any luck in my search there yet.any ideas?
Update. Hit a used parts lot (KENNYS U-PULL) and luck of the irish they had ONE jimmy in the field with a near perfect condition skid panel. So 20$ later problem solved!! Yay!

Are you referring to the the front skid plate panel? If so, you can easily find one at a wrecking yard.

There were 3 different materials used for the skid plates, and there's actually 3 skid plates if you have non-ABS skid plates. The standard was ABS plastic, which is what it appears you had. Then there were optional aluminium and carbon fibre versions depending on which option kit your truck came with from factory. I believe the aluminium ones available on 95-98 trucks, and the carbon fibre were 99+. Also note that the skid plates from a ZR2 will not fit a non-ZR2.
