    I planned to put button-head bolts in those, just to give the skid a more industrial look. I didn't end up keeping the skid, though.

    I also thought about modifying the hole then using flat head socket cap screws so it blends in... but I'm whatever now. not gonna worry about it.

    If you're interested in a used one, I'll sell mine. Had it on for roughly 2-3 months? I'm in So Ca.

    I'd go with SEM trim black. That was an excellent paint for a set of Jeep bumpers I bought. I've also used this, though, and it works great also:

    If you want something that’ll resemble powder coat, 2k raptor liner!

    Question for those that have the CarTrimHome skid plate: Is the access door for the oil filter the same thickness as the rest of the skid? Like ~1/4 inch? Or is it thinner? Does it seem pretty robust?

    If I recall, it's the same thickness as the entire skid plate.

    edit: measured it and it is not the same thickness as the skid plate.
