    Polyethelyne or aluminum? I'm leaning towards the PE.

    I would only use HDPE (polyethylene), Jabroc, or titanium for skid plates...

    Best,

    I'd be afraid of the metal ones for various reasons:

    -Getting caught in something backing up will likely rip apart the bumper
    -Don't see a need to create sparks which make their way near my gas tank or engine (especially not after gas drips out from the drip hole on an overfill)

    I say get the black poly ones, get them at Ricambi.

    LOL Someone with sense here :)


    The poly with the most wax in it works best, I think polypropylene would be the best material.
    I need to cut a few sets soon as I get a free hour or two on the cnc

    I have some of this material left over and would send you two pieces that you could cut to fit, drill and mount yourself. If you pay the postage which would fit in a USPS Flat Rate Box it's yours.
