Aftermarket Skid Plate?

[SquireSCA]

When I clicked on the link that shows the front one that I want, the price is like $37, so I am assuming that one is plastic.  The other 2 that I have are metal, it's only the front one that I would want to replace with metal

Yah I actually still have the metal skid plates that I added to my 17’, I’m going to test fit on my 2020 and see if I can make the front work

It is hard to tell, the one we know is metal is $44.49.  I think I am going to order that front one and see if it is metal...

That's what I feared, it was too cheap to be metal.  haha

Oh well, I will keep searching...

I have the Spartan bumper from Road Armor and I know they make a skid plate to work with that bumper. Might be worth looking into whether that fits the bumper you're getting.

I actually ordered that skid plate when I ordered the bumpers.  They told me that it wasn't compatible, so I had to cancel it.  They just don't offer anything to work with the Stealth bumpers...

I ordered the Westin 58-71215.  It looks like it will work.  The pictures are a bit contradictory as it shows the finished picture of it being attached to their bumper.  However, that picture looks nothing like the other product pictures.

I received the Westin skid plate.  It is a very solid skid plate replacement for the front plastic splash shield.  It does not require an aftermarket front bumper like the picture in the instructions makes it appear!  I haven’t installed it yet, I intend to do that when I install the bumpers.  I’m hoping for good weather... 

this is what it really looks like:

How did the Westin bumper fit? I'm considering replacing the front plastic skid on my LM2 Z71 when I get a winch bumper. Not a lot of under carriage options.
