After bending my a-arm last weekend I decided I should invest in some skid plates (which I bought from a place recommended by members of this forum, thx). I went ahead and bought the whole package because it was best for the price instead of buying each individually. I just got done putting them on and I'm not for sure if I like the way the front bash plate looks. I had to remove the plastic piece to put it on and it makes the Vinson look like the whole front end is opened up. I tried to get the plastic piece to fit over it but it won't. How important do you'll think that front bash plate is? Here are some pics so you'll can tell me what you think. The pics were just taken tonight so the pics are not very bright.
Vinson Skid Plates

 

i think the frount end looks sick, the shroud in the frount is different than others i have seen. all the aftermarket + suzuki ones look the same, that one looks universal?

 

I am not for sure if it's universal or not. Here is the link where I purchased them from.http://www.atvoutfitters.net/ricochet_skidplates.htm

 

hi
i just ordered the full set too, but i'm from portugal so their on their way about 2 weeks to get here, do u have anymore pictures i could see?

beside the front look wich i agree could be better what is your opinion of the plates?

do u have to remove them to chage the oil?

tks

 

To be honest the skid plates look alot better in the day light. Makes the machine look meaner. Those pictures don't do it any justice. I'm happy with them and I'm sure they have already saved me a few times over some big rocks. What other kinds of pics are you looking for? I could take some this weekend.
And yes, it has a hole for the oil plug. Shouldn't ever have to take them off for regular maintenence.

 

I think it looks better!

but thats just me.

 

dude, I think the whole thing looks freakin awesome

 

Do u have any pictures in the daylight?
i was getting worried i saw your pictures one day after i order my skids and they do not look that good at night
cant wait to get them so i can see them instaled
what about the winch is it a warn?
i'm looking at the warn bumper wath do u think of it?

 

Now all you need is a kimpex front bumper
