    front skid plate

    Anybody know where to get the custom front skid plate that is in galery pictures? I am looking for an aluminum one.

    I saw a post saying marlin has them, but how do I get in touch with him?

    I tried to cut and paste a picture but couldn't.
    I am not looking for underbody. Just the plate that covers around front bumper. If you link to this it is the one I am looking for.

    The specific link within that page does not seem to bring up the skid plate.

    Contact Rowhard for that one and tell him what you need.

    I believe that his are fiberglass and the one he made for me is exceptional!

    yup, thats the fiberglass one...

    chris (marlin) was making some aluminum ones for a while. and he may make you one if you send him a message on the board here.

    Here are the ones I made, they are for the under body, a true skid plate, Rowhard's look sweet, but are purely cosmetic, not a skid plate.
    I stopped making mine, not enough interest. I sold my last one a few months ago...sorry. If you truly want a skid plate, the Kilby plates are the way to go.

    Thanks for the kind words Mile High.

    Got your email Daly. That photo is one of Ron's (VX Concepts) Plastic Skid plates, very nice product along with the other items he did, but unfortunately he shut down his operations. Mine is the same except of fiberglass, but I don't have the fake screws in the top. Of course you could take the LDub approach.

    How does yours attach? I thought the screws were for real (guess I didn't read Dub's installation thread very carefully). 3M body tape maybe?

    Seems like adding screws or tape where the valance meets the bottom of the cladding might be a good idea too. Thanks for the details Dub!

    Well there you go... thanks Mile High! I keep putting this off, seems like every time I get ready to PM John something else comes up (bill or rare accessory purchase). Gotta believe a Foxfire valance would look spectacular!
