Mine doesn't get in the way...it actually helps cause I can use the towers and side bars to place the front end better since they mark the corners and frnot most protrusion which I can see. Fits in the garage fine too.

i use to do that with my front bumper.. since i knew i was going to paint it. NOW, i park in the very end of the parking lot, id rather walk then get pissed off when i see 10 karts all around my truck.

I for the life of me can not figure out why it is so freaking hard for todays lazy society to push the freaking cart to that dang cart parking spot and leave the carts there instead of in the middle of the lot, ticks me off every time I see a cart in the middle of the lot.

to answer the OP question I have no problems with mine, actually makes it easier because its easier to see the front

Haha... with my first brush guard I pulled forward a little too far and hit the van infront of me. I thought I had a good foot to go when the thing in the spot ahead started rocking. I quickly backed up, surveyd the damage (of which there was none) and quitely went on my way.

Never had a problem. If anything, it makes parking easier, because it's visible above the hood line, making you aware of where your bumper actually is.

No, you just use it to make room.
