    Hello Folks,

    We all know the 355 is pretty low to the ground and when going up or down an incline, the front bumper can and often scrape. The factory had designed the bumper with built in Skid Plates, but who wants their bumpers destroyed?

    Sticky RX is pleased to release our new Skid Plate assemblies.

    The Skid Plates are made from engineering plastic that provides excellent wear properties with a nice tapered edge all around the profile. The backing plates are stainless steel for anti-corrosion purposes. The mounting hardware is also stainless steel with nylon insert lock nuts.

    The profile of the Skid Plates match the profile of the factory bumper skid plate outline, and these are only 1/4" in height.

    These are, as always, laser etched (not seen when installed) for identification. These come as a kit of both LH and RH Skid Plates, backing plates and all mounting hardware.

    Best of all, these are at a great price ;)

    These can be seen and purchased on our online store and remember, use FCHAT10 for 10% off all online orders.

    Thanks for checking these out :)

    Here is also a cool video of these being machined :cool:

    After i placed the order for the skid plates, i decided to browse your store. Saw the tire install tool -- so ordered it as well. You guys saw two orders and combined the shipping and refunded me the additional shipping charge. Great Customer Service -- and you did it before i had a chance to ask!

    They do look great. I'd buy a pair but my 355 appears to already have skid plates installed.

    I've purchased pretty much every tool Dave has for sale and I have to say that his stuff is excellent quality. I'm planning an engine out this winter and I'll report back when I actually put them to use. Many thanks to Dave for offering these items at great prices.

    Ettore - you are a gentleman and I loyal customer and we greatly appreciate it! Thank you, sir :)

    Thanks, Eric - now go find another 355 so you can get a set ;)

    That is an on-going battle. We dump and freshen the tanks annually :)

    Our coolant is bio-stable. It's also a Boeing specification coolant. Our only issue regarding cleaning is small chip fines that get past chip conveyor filter.

    We had the good stuff also from somewhere in the netherlands or that area that was biostable also. Tests showed more living bacteria then bathroom in a gas station LOL

    I think laser and the glass particles had something to do with it also

    Now get back on topic you scatter brains LOL

    That looks awesome, Dave. But my car already has a set, and I also have a spare set that I bought just because...

    Got your wheel tool and the spark plug boot tool. Both are top notch, so I am sure this one would be, too.

    Cheers

    Got the shipment from Dave. Wow, really quality parts. Love the wheel tool -- i had been fighting getting wheels on. Have not installed the skid plates yet but will probably one of these days.
