Frame Savers installed...pix!
Particularly if your car is lowered, like mine by 2.5" the front skid bars can take a beating. The tough nylon wheels really do help as you roll in/out of driveways and dips. LAPD (supporting vendor) did the install for free (Thanks Shawn & Robert!), they do have more in stock and the part cost about $80 and approx. $50 for labor.

frame savers
where did they mount them? I inquired about them acouple months ago when I took delivery as my drive way is sloped. I was told that if I installed them it would void the warranty! The good folks on this forum convinced me not to worry and I don't. so far no real problem although also I have not lowered it [yet] 1 cool vet

Don't you run the risk of doing more harm than good since, unless I'm mistaken, they're bolted to holes drilled into relatively flimsy radiator mounts?
I would think a good shot would break or at least damage the mounts.
