my vote is for the brush guard
you get to keep your tow hooks (which you loose with a bullbar)
it just looks badass
but it is more expensive. mine was around $500


here are some pics

You are correct, but Thumpermx113 said his bull bar did not do anything but look pretty.... The Brush Guards serve a purpose, the bull bar is for show. I am even thinking about going the show route...

While the brush guards are nice looking, they do serve some protection for light collisons or brushy areas, but a hard head on collision it wont do didly squat, the brackets will give way and still cause lots of damage.

I like the looks of brush guards. They look tougher.

Bull bars are for street queens.
