It'd be easy with some fabrication but why pay for something that you're going to have to actually work on to make it work? It'd be much easier to build one from the start, IMO.

I agree with Thump. If you have to fab on it just build it yourself. Then you can cut your name or initials into it rather than advertising for them.

Looks stronger than the one with voids created by the laser etched CST logo.

ya much stronger but im not looking for strength i dont truely need a skid plate i only off rad in sand no real brush in the sand that can do much damage i just want the look of the top one with the CST cut out.
I just threw up!
not the worst thing ever but just doesnt do it for me.

it was actually pretty expensive too it costs about 250 but i agree it covers some ugly stuff up under the truck give it a little cleaner look.
