i dunno, it'd be kinda cool to scrape my rear bumper across the ground

the aftermath probably wouldnt be as cool, but it would make for a good picture, lol

ill be putting most of the interior back in. i want it to be light, but not look like ****. im just getting rid of all the sound deadening, speakers, door bars, wires, and whatever else. then a speed inc LW carpet will go back in, as will most of the otherstuff

Griff, skid plates are over rated! I've been driving the contour without one for a couple of years now. Mine supposedly protect the gas tank when the rear comes down on dead-hooking.

It might actually fit your Z, now that I think about it. I'll sell it to you for $550. Let me know and I'll let you check it out this weekend.
