Front Brush Guard - installation
I was looking for some kind of brush or grille guard for some time. During that time on three different occasions someone scratched my front bumper. Some people when they park their cars go all the way until they hit others..  Anyway, I knew I needed something to protect my front end. Those bull guards like Westin or T&H wouldn

nice job krosno! yes that does protect more than my T&H bullbar because mine only protects the center of the bumper, but my tubes are much thicker. I've hit a wall twice at about 5mph. 
P.S. did you email the guy about the meet?

Thanks.....
As for tubes I know mine are thinner but when You park your car, You do it really carefully ( I hope  ) so your speed is really low and i hope those tubes will be able to protect my bumper..
As for email .....Yes I did..I'm waiting for reply....... Thanks for PM

Nice writeup and pics krosno. I've never been a fan of that type of guard from a visual standpoint. I think it does look a little better on yours because of your bug wind deflector. It does look like it sticks out too far from the bumper on the sides for my liking. Just trying to be honest with you since you seem a little undecided.
Just a random, difficult idea, but maybe something like a combination of the T&H Bull and the rear bar that Trance has. Combined into a front guard. I know it would cost more and is difficult but I thought I'd throw the idea out here anyway.

Thanks for your input...I felt the same way at first but I think I will stick with it for now... I like it more than that full grille guard that others have... Like I said the only guard that would look good on my Titanium would be one made by JAOS ( $$$$$$ :awais: ). However I'm really frustrated by those scratches on my front bumper and I need something that will help me avoid getting more of them. That is price I have to pay for living in a city and parking on streets.
As for your idea it is good but it is to complicated for me....I need some easy and cheap solutions..... Besides, I still have many other mods on my TO DO LIST so I need to spend my money wisely....
