Skid Plate Trimming

Post by TexasBlaZeR2 »

My rig has the black composite skid plate...looks like fiberglass. I need to trim it to make it fit with the bumper thumper brackets. However, I am worried about the finish. If it is like fiberglass, won't trimming it remove the coating and cause it to start fraying and breaking down?

What is the best way to trim the composite skid plate? Is there some kind of finish repair kit I can use before mounting it back up?

Does anyone have experience doing this?

Thanks,

I know this doesn't really help your current situation much, but the best thing to do would be to get one of Justin's skidplates. THen you could cut it however you wanted it and still have strength :D
