Roll pans

What is a roll pan? For a custom look, some custom truck builders pull off that giant bumper off the back, and replace it with a  much more smooth and sleek looking piece where the bumper used to go. They are usually made of steel, urethane, or fiberglass. There is no real purpose for a roll pan, except for an improved look and weight savings. The reason there is different types of materials a roll pan is made is, if you go with a urethane or fiberglass roll pan, they are lighter then the steel, easily removable by a handful of bolts, and it wont rust like an improperly painted steel roll pan will. A steel roll pan can be molded in, not having to worry about cracking from the change in temperature, which causes the urethane or fiberglass roll pan to expand and contract, cracking the paint. There is also the similar option with the steel roll pans to be able to have them bolted on.

Here's a picture of a fiberglass roll pan, with the exhaust tips coming through it. Notice that the edges are visible With a steel roll pan welded in, it gives it more of a molded, one piece look, making it look more custom, but a much bigger hassle to remove if something happens like an accident.

Here is what a molded roll pan looks like. Notice the smoother look with no lines, giving it a more "shaved" look. Personally I think that steel roll pans are the way to go, just for the option of being able to weld it in and give the back end a cleaner look.
