    Diamond Plate "progard"

    I'm considering a run of "progard" style skid plates in .063 Polished Diamond plate aluminum. I'm gonna make one for myself regardless.

    I can do 'em for $175 shipped in the 48.

    PM me if you wanna do a combo of Radiator cover, Lower air dam and/or rear skid plate.

    I'll be making the prototype this weekend, then, it's off to the metal shop for production based on demand. I'll post pics Monday.

    Al, it's NICER than the air dam you got. I found even better, shinier metal and a shop foreman that actually listens and reads drawings!!!!

    Wow, those look GREAT especially the Radiator cover. Sorry for not seeing the link-colored text. How hard are these to install? I like that cover a lot, and even shinier metal source ... nice !

    You are lookin at the shinier metal. Al got one of the first run a ways back.

    Rad cover:
    3 push pins out
    Remove latch (2 8mm)
    3 push pins in
    re-install latch with LONG extension through grille.

    Interested in seeing the proguard as well. That may be a lot of weight on the 2 small bumper cover screws. Have you come up with a different way of mounting it?

    It shouldn't be heavy. My airdams SHIP at 3 lbs with all the boxing and stuff. There's probly twice the material, so I'd guess 4 lbs, if that? .063 aluminum is VERY light, but very rigid if left untempered. I'll weigh it when I'm done and compare it to the proguard weight. You got me curious now, too.

    I weighed them today. 3.5 for the original progaurd, 5 for the new blingtastic progaurd.

    However, weight doesn't matter. There are two supports behind the bumper.
