I tried the shields off a late 90s pritete and the fdrivers side fit withe just a small slit in the plastic. The passengers side wasn't a very good fit tho, the wheel well fits but the front doesn't much but some pulling and some zip ties I got it on til I can figutr out something more solid.

I like what Fowljesse did, he chopped up one of those bigass bristol boards for campaign signs and cut holes and bolted it to the bottom.

I want to do the same thing but i never see any huge campaign signs around town. I definitely wanted to do his idea because of the traction bar I have. With his idea i can have the bar AND keep the bottom of my engine protected from water

Nice. I got a big box from work and I'm gonna cut out a mold for under the bumper and maybe the splash shield and cover up the bottom of the bumper and part of the engine and trans hopefully. I will then wrap it up to water proof it, and eventually make it of something more durable. I got the idea from autospeed.com.

I even went and bought a vacuum gauge to test it as he did in this article but my mx hasn't been running to try.
