    Pro Guard skid plate

    Many of you are not aware but Mercman took his Marauder into Pro guard located in Indianoplis Indiana years ago, they custom made a skid plate for the Marauder I have sold hundreds of these for the entire panther community, so for the next 30 days they are on sale to the site for 50.00 PS.

    Its a piece of flat plastic that encloses the rear bumper from underneath. There was a video of a CV going 100mph and the rear bumper ballooning.

    It helps support the back bumper most Police agencies use it, and it does help, I will post pictures. Many have it on there car and like others do not. Great deal for 50.00

    Yes you may have to cut a notch it . I've seen it done before. It does help with airflow and keep debris out of there. If possible cut it so that your hitch helps support (is below) the Pro Guard.

    If you want to support your bumper you need $10 worth of flat aluminum stock and angle. I used an adjustable jig on mine. Easy.

    2021 F150 XLT Super Crew short bed - no chrome! - 3.5 Ecoboost 400hp/500tq - 36 Gal tank (600 miles) - 4x4 FX4 Offroad + Max Tow - 3.55 Locker - 10 Speed - Pro Power 2kva - 24mpg @ 80 Ford is still the best.
    03 300A - Number 1727     - Super Touring - 10k in the best upgrades - 13.8@99 N/A - SOLD     - STAP was so much fun, loved meeting you all and racing.

    Actually, it smooths the air flow somewhat under the rear and keeps the lip of the valance from catching air. Got mine after Mike mentioned my rear valance ballooning and flapping because of the air catching the lip. That was 6 years ago enroute to Detroit for MV III.

    Interesting. I wonder if mine does that.
