What you say is true if you don't maintain it. I polish parts on high end performance vehicles and have personally seen that raw aluminum can and does manitain without oxidation with simple care. Maintaince is easy with "X-Treem Metal Polish" and sealer. Anodizing prices will be available soon for those don't mind loosing some of the shine in name of protection and no maintaince and the extra cost. It also would give the option of colorizing the skid plate.
