A new addition

I finally got around to buying one and I must say, I'm very happy that I did.



Its sitting about an inch high and one of the brackets was bent from the previous owner. Im going to have to pay a body shop to modify the brackets to sit flush on the bumper. Also im thinkin about putting a thin strip of rubber on the bottom of the bracket, so it doesn't tear away at my bumper.



This was also a bittersweet trip to pick it up... I rolled over 100k on the way there

Yours looks awesome, I'm just going to leave mine as is until the paint starts chipping off, but that will be along time from now.

I saw a few other grill guards in my parking lot and saw that they all had a small gap between the bracket and that upper valance. Is there supposed to be a gap?
