Just curious if anyone has this skid plate for their 2010 or 2011 FJ. If so I would love to see some pictures!!!

I have both of those factory skid plates in my garage. This one is as you said, very shiny, and very flimsy. I'd recommend for the money the OP buy something else, however, if dead set on OEM get the thicker aluminum one. There are a few for sale in the classifieds at much cheaper prices.I have seen one of those (from Sparks) in person. Kinda shiney and thin as heck...with plenty of holes in it.
I recommend Ricochet's front bash plate for 100 bucks. Much better approach angle, access to front tow hooks, and much thicker and more durable.
First time you hit the factory bash plate you will bend it badly.

I just called Sparks and you CAN install the PRE-2010 OEM skid plate on a 2010 or 2011 FJ you just need an additional bracket because of the spacing. Here is a link to the skid brackets:I like the older thicker OEM skid plate better but I thought it would not fit on a 2010 FJ....only up to 2009 models. Is that correct? If not, is there anything special I need to install it?
