RCI powder coated front skids
Couple of questions for those of you that have these if you don't mind. I've searched quite a bit, and haven't found these answers specifically.
First, did the powder coating hold up? I have an '18 4wd metallic sport, so I want to continue the darker theme and not use raw aluminum. This isn't going to see much off-roading anyway, so I'm really only asking about how it holds up during normal driving/pebbles/etc..
Secondly, I can't seem to find a decent picture of how these look from a normal viewing angle - basically a pic at chest height standing 10-20 feet in front of the truck. All I can find are pics from under the truck or very low to the ground. I've already removed my air dam, I just want to understand how much of this I'm going to see - am I going to be advertising RCI quite clearly, in other words. Does anyone have any pics like this you're willing to share?

I have a set that I had powder coated locally. I've only driven the truck about 5000 over the year or so that they have been on, but so far not a single chip or scratch in them. I didn't recall ever noticing the skids while the truck was on the ground with me standing, so I just went out and checked. I have air dam removed and 35's with about 2" of lift in the front and you basically can't see the skids at all in the scenario you described.
