Trying to catch up with you guys. Blue collar worker w/family so it'll be a step by step process. Mest30, I'm a south sider by Midway airport, how about you? Got my first speeding ticket already on Lake shore drive, but turning this humble car to a BEAST is definintely the goal!!! Bigbillybbs, understand everything else, but not sure what pro guard is?

Pro-gard is what the cops have on their cars to keep the rear bumper from scooping dirt and tearing apart when they cross highway medians or other ditches at speed. Our rear bumpers are long and sometimes sag in the bottom middle under their own weight. The Pro-Gard helps with that also. Some here that do a lot of highway driving report it can help a little with gas mileage at highway speeds. If I remember correctly, Magindat can make you one out of shiny diamond plate aluminum if'n you wants to get real fancy.

Welcome to the board. Glad to have you!

My 1999 crown Victoria P71 started to crack on the sides of the bumper from the sag… I didnt want it to happen again so I purchased the pro guard For my marauder.
It will prevent the sag from the bumper. I also do a lot of highway driving and I was told it helps the wind flow under the car. I did not notice any change in gas mileage but some guys have.

If you are Interested in one It took me about 15 Minuets to install it, very easy!!.
