Rigg, I agree with you. whole heartedly

RB, here's a good close up of the mounting bracket as well as one of the three upper plate-to-bumper mount areas. I'm going to go with a slotted cutout on the (5) tabs areas. And likewise just use a short fat threaded screw for the front bumper installation.

Well I'm glad he sure finished the piece for us after all that time LOL.

I guess the slots on the bottom were to give some lateral room on install, some dremel work is in order I guess. At least its made of ABS Plastic haha!

How does the mold look anyways, does it look pretty good, smooth? Etc

Very smooth and quite heavy; an excellent reproduction. Yeah I wish it was pre drilled but I'm still very pleased nonetheless.

I can overlook it and if it meets your approval I'm happy to hear it.

It's going to the shop anyway for paint so I'm sure it won't be too tough, I'll drill the top 3 1/4" holes but leave them to do the slots most likely.

glad to see you're pleased with the repo (minus the pre-drilled holes and mounting hardware).
I will weigh the two skid plates to see a difference in weight (since I will be getting a replica and my OE plate back), just out of curosity

Just got mine. Looks like a good quality molding, texture good. Since my phone is 'dumb' and I don't have the camera at work, I'll leave it to others to post pictures. I won't be getting it painted and installed under others here report further.

Rig, don't be so scared. prime and paint that puppy.
put it on now and enjoy the compliments :)

be a pioneer of the Slimmbones plates :)

Heh. I would, but other plans the next couple of weeks! :)

Me as well. I'll be dropping mine at the body shop to get a dent pulled and this painted/installed in the coming week or so. It helps that I pass a body shop on the way to work every morning (100 yards from our office) and my wifes car has been there twice this year :banghead:
