Product Details
Worried about the plastic fender liners taking the brunt of extreme impacts with your ECS Street Shield? Want extra protection for serious rugged terrain? Look no further! The Engineering Team at ECS Tuning have developed sturdy impact-resistant braces that carry added impact capacity over the plastic fender liners for those in need of serious protection.
The Street Shield Reinforcement Kit bolts directly to the back of the crash beam and then directly to the ECS Street Shield Skid Plate for all metal mounting points. No drilling*, no cutting required, just simple direct-fit, rugged protection!

Our ECS Street Shield Reinforcement Kit was designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We ensured the highest level of precision and quality is delivered throughout rigorous long term product testing and leading edge product development methods.

*Customers with early version of ECS Street Shields without front mounting holes will need to drill the skid plate where noted in our Installation PDF in order to bolt on the front impact brace. It can be ran without this hardware, though we recommend the complete threaded installation for intended protection.
