Don't know what PRM stands for.The product is excellent.Friendly and quick service.Easy installation.Cost of front bash plate,full chassis skid plate,and rear diff plate with shipping included to Seattle was $260. You already have a bash plate and stick guards so you can subtract about $50.Phone # 541-857-2812 or see them online @ PRM-ATV.com

Glad to hear you're going for the full chassis skid plate.I've also got the rear diff plate.You may not think you need it but I'd reccomend spending the extra $100 for the added peace of mind.Mine has some big scrapes that would have for sure eaten the stock plate.If you plan on doing a lot of rock climbing and log climbing it's a must.Installation is a breaze as I stated before.PRM manufactures the skid plates with the original bolt pattern of the stock plates.They also add a couple of extra bolts which you'll figure out.One that I didn't install was the uppermost on the right as you're facing the plate when installing.The PRM bash plate fits over the front of the full chassis skid and will provide extra stability.I'm not sure if the bash plate you have will function in the same manner.Hope so.One thing you should do when installing the full chassis skid plate is apply some type of noise dampening to the rear most portion of the plate.I did this by placing some foam pipe insulation on the round frame tubes at the rear of the quad.I didn't do this initially and heard an irritating rattle at low/mid RPM's.Once the foam pipe insulation was applied to the frame tubes, all was quiet.The added peace of mind with the skid plates is well worth the investment.There is definitely some added observation/maintenence that is involved after any ride involving mud/loose debris.I rinse my plates off after most rides as they tend to grab muck and hold onto it.I'd rather not leave tons of junk in contact with the engine etc.Best of luck with your purchase.
