New Grand Vitara Skid Plate Supplier

vijaylucas · 06-30-2009, 03:20 AM

Hey all,
I can provide skid plates for 2006 to 2009 GV's for both the long and short wheel base versions (ie. 3 door and 5 door).

It is made from 3mm thick Embossed Aluminium which is stronger that the smooth finished aluminium sheets

The pic is for illustration only.

The cost of one set is $300.
Shipping would be roughly about less than 1/3rd of the above amount. Shipping is free for folks based in United Arab Emirates. And for the GCC region it would be about $40-$50.

Interested parties let me know.

Plus ill throw in a paint colour of your choice at no extra charge.

Cheers.

Oh man, still none ones for North America.

vijaylucas, what made you decide on aluminum? Skid plates are typically better made of steel since aluminum is very sticky when rubbed up against rocks, whereas steel is more slippery.

For $300 count me the hell in. My next mod is skid plates and I was thinking about trying to fabricate my own, but it will be a PITA. What does the plates cover, and could you make it a drop thicker?

Aluminium is a lot easier to fabricate and its a lot more lighter. The problem with steel ones are that they tend to be very rigid and i've seen it damaging the frame under the vehicle after a hard hit. You'd rather have something that could bend a little.

I can ship to North America. Let me know

Could you please re-post the photo of those skid plates? For some reason, the picture in your original message is not displaying. Also, can you ship to Russia (Sakhalin Island) and, if you do, how much would the shipping cost?

Hey the close up shot looks great. Is there anyway you might be able to post a pic of the entire set, or let us know what skids will be included in the pack for the $300. Plus $100 for shipping to the U.S. Thanks again finally somebody that can do a decent set of skids for us left out in the States.
P.S. I have a five door G.V. 2008 Luxury 4x4 Thanks again.
