building front skids

So I'm working on building a set of front skidplates, My original plan was to build them out of this badass orange/black carbon kevlar i found on ebay:

Orange Carbon Fiber Kevlar Hybrid Fabric Cloth 50" 3k - eBay (item 120524328996 end time Feb-28-10 1028 PST)

but I don't feel like spending $200...

I DO HOWEVER have a giant sheet of stainless steel, so thats what the first set will be made with... I'll keep everyone updated. I haven't figured how I'm going to mount them on for sure yet, but that shouldn't be to hard.

carbon fiber is a amazing material to work with. ive built a few parts for cars with it. gonna start on a Cf replacement for the plastics as soon as it warms up! Good luck with your build. the stainless would look awesome

Front skidplates? Plural? Are you talking about the arm protectors or the single skidplate for the frame?

are you doing the carbon fiber? that would be sweet! if you are check out compositeenvisions.com they have some good deals and would make it cheaper than 300.
