well,...............beating the sh*t out of them, i will do that for sure !!!!!!
but as for cost......mine was free, (recycled electric motor covers) so no cost to me,
i had to use a press to bend what i just did, a-arm gaurds and my style air scoops, < check my recent build thread for pics
add some heat with a propane torch too or most aluminum will crack when bending, or soon after
it's tough stuff,

except that pic above........................sure woulda looked nicer if the diamonds were facing upwards, to be seen down thru the frame as i did, that was a total waste of diamond plate there

/\/\/\/\ in your case, diamonds facing down would be cool, so while your jumping over slower riders they could see a cool skidplate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
