To say the skid plate would shatter is an overgeneralization IMO. It depends on the design and materials used. Ours proved to be exceptionally durable and units a few years old have sold in the secondary market for more than we charged.
That's worthy of some kudos, Pat, pretty impressive item...why not do the same for the Boxsters?
