Which skid plate?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I purchased the extreme fabrication skid plate from motoman, and it is the worst product I have ever purchased! It did me damage to my wave rotor, and was such a ***** at Rausch Creek. I want a good skid plate that will protect my rotor and such. I was thinking of either the PRM skid plate or the Pro-tec which are my top two choices just from what I hear. Which would you reccomend that will just hold up great? Dan

Having had the PRM and now using the Pro-Tech... For the money, go with the PRM. Excellent design, and takes a lot of abuse for an aluminum skid plate. The Pro-Tech is very nice too, but if I remember right, almost twice as much as the PRM. The Pro-Tech is stainless steel... And if you buff it, it does not fade like the aluminum does. The Pro-Tech also weighs more than the PRM, but the Pro-Tech is a thinner material that holds up very well, and adds just a hair more ground clearance.

I think you came down to two great choices in skid plates... But remember, both are not indestructable!

If I had to get another one, I would get a Pro-Tech... Just for the fact that it holds it shine after being polished!

(And the fact that it does hold up well... Even at Rausch Creek)

how much is the prm and what thickness is it?

I love my prm products.... and have had no problem with them what so ever. I don't know what the thickness is but you will probably pay somewhere between 75-85 dollars I believe.
The prm can also be polished with mothers polish..... it will get nice and shinny.
They would look excellent on your quad.
Go with the PRM!
