I guess that's better than nothing but it's not really a skid plate IMO. If you're going to do some hard off-roading I would go for something a bit more HD. If you're just gonna tackle some mud or brush every once in a while it's all good.

Pretty open ended question there - what exactly are you looking for opinions on? Do you want something for looks - or for protection?

I'd start with a BudBuilt IFS skid and work your way to getting an aftermarket bumper. The guard you linked looks like bling more than protection. Most of the guards like that damage the stock bumper with any impact.

Bud Built is a trail proven unit. The Westin Bull Bar w/ skid looks about as strong as the factory chin spoilers. And the fact that it comes with a bull-bar should give you a clue that it is all meant for asphalt princesses.

I have used and abused Bud Built--it can take an Arse whopping. if there was a Jerry Springer for car parts--i would be the bad guy taking advantage of of the overweight welfare mom--collecting checks and selling food stamps Get the whole Skid and not just a couple pieces.
