If it's not pre drilled I may be just a bit pissed.

Well, sorry to report that mine has neither the mounting hardware nor pre-drilled holes.

Mike, when you get a chance can you pass along the hole size mm from yours? As it appears from online pics that the holes in the OEM tabs are large and oval? Obviously for adjustment. I'm sure the three upper can be any size.

I mean on one hand I'm glad Rick made these.

On the other hand, his communication is terrible and he sent an unfinished product. I can drill the holes myself it's just another tedious thing, after months of waiting, and frustrating considering the price we paid that a few holes couldn't be drilled and a couple stainless bolts included

For my case, I don't have the tools or space to do this as I live in a bachelor apt.
I need my mechanics or a shop to do this..but that is time and time is money.

+1 on the effort to give to the X community, but as stated above..communication is poor/unfinished product.

Still waiting. Tracking number still shows no activity. I don't mind drilling holes myself or not having hardware. I want it now so I can put it on... It's been a long wait.

Maybe my X is a little different. After looking underneath, the skidplate will not seem to mount without quite a bit of modifications. There are no slots underneath for the aft end of the plate to be mounted

Here's a good link to an OEM plate that more clearly shows the size and locations for the holes. And one of the pics seems to show two foam rubber supports glued on the back.

Looks like double-sided trim tape. Can the skid plate be held on by plastic rivets? Similar to plastic rivets that holds wheel arc and rocker panel?
