Default Rough Country vs Skid Row Offroad Front Skid Plate

I just installed VDP full width high clearance end caps and had to trim the stock air dam which is very flimsy and is only held by few clips. I've been looking to replace it with either Rough Country or Skid Row Offroad skid plate. My search hasn't return much on RC plate, not sure if it is too new or not that popular. Looking for some feedback on either one, likes, dislikes, recommendations. Both are priced somewhat equally. I'd like to stay in that price range of $70-80. If you have pictures of it installed, would love to see them.

I went for a while without that air dam and never noticed a difference. If you end up with an aftermarket front bumper it might get in the way of one of those guards.

If it were me I would just go without it.

Had the rough country front and muffler skid and really liked both. Will see if I can dig up a pic. They were well built and heavy duty.

I have the same end caps, I am going with the SKID ROW skid. I like their products.

Would like to see it once you install it.

I am ordering it next week after my wheel spacers sell. If you know anyone looking. 1.5" wheel spacers for the JK.
