    Skid Plates installed! X D

    Just finished installing the skid plates.
    They were a bit rough,so a bit of sanding,Bondo,ect.. was needed.
    I just put a slap job paint job on them,but I'll get them professionally painted when I get the time.

    Also I didn't screw into the cladding,it's held on with some serious double sided sponge tape and the bolts at the bottom. I cut the screw heads and glued them to the skid plate. I coulden't bring myself to damage the cladding that bad lol

    Thanks sue!

    Ya all those holes across the top are just for show, you're supposed to attach the top of the front plate using the license plate bolt holes (you'll need longer bolts obviously).

    Congrats!
