Aries or Westin?

Having a hard time deciding... price is a sorta factor... but I'm looking to get a black bull bar to go on my black FX4.

Was gonna offer a pic of the truck for PS to see what the girl will look like with the Roush grill and a black bull bar... but for some reason my camera isn't communicating with my PC.

What do ya'll think?

I have no experience with aries stuff, but I definitely like the westin products.

Is there "modifications" required to the lower fascia for this to fit? It's telling me on an FX4 there's "cutting of the lower air dam required"...

Not liking that part.

My Roush grill will be here next week sometime. It will def be painted black.

I sell aftermarket truck stuff for work, so this is from a wholesale point of view.
But, I can say while both companies make good products, Aries has much better customer service. While neither company's product have many problems, when they do Aries gets back to you and deals with the situation much faster and more effectively. While I'm sure that they handle direct to customer differently, this has been my experiences.
Food for thought.

I have a stainless Aries bar i got on Ebay for $200 shipped. bolts right up, you do loose your tow hooks, unless you get longer bolts and mount the tow hooks underneath.

The only way you need to cut your front fascia is if you have a body lift. But black bull bar and black roush would looks B.A.

I have a stainless Aries too and like stated above it simply bolts right up but you do loose your tow hooks. It took less than 15 min to install and I haven't had any problems with it.
