      Even if you did or didnt have factory hardware, it looks like a job well done. Better safe than sorry I always say.

                    well.... i used to have about like 4 or 5 inches of clearance from the ground for my oil pan, my custom mount for the plate drops the plate an inch lower than normal, and the plate hangs down an inch, so i have about 2 or 3 inches of clearance from the ground to the plate. It was sweet on friday when i hit a dip at the bottom of an onramp that's a hill going about 80 and i see sparks coming out the back, knowing its not anything important, this thing is PIMP!!!

                    hopefully no leaky fuel lines, haha.

                            that has got to be the dumbest, most irresponsible thing I have ever heard! I think it would be cool to see your car hang in a crack in the road, rip the front end off, and watch your car crash, now that woukd be pimp!!!! nothing like loosing 3 or more inches of ground clearance for a really heavy piece of junk on the front of your car. but glad to hear you like it

                              how do you figure, it protects the front undercarrige with no ill effect to it, or the car.... i fail to see the irresponsibleness of the situation.... just jealous.... ;)

                                I will have one on my car. Common sense isn't going to save you from every single thing that could pop up on the road.

                                I'd rather have one and not need it than need it and not have one.
