Re: Grill Guard Opinions
Grille guard is the way...Cost a little more, but it'll protect your headlights and your grille.

Re: Grill Guard Opinions
I'd say bull bar for a cleaner look, but I'm a little biased.

I have a grille guard and I love it. Looks great. I never liked or understood a bull bar. They offer very little protection from deer and what not, and you could just as easily mount the lights in your grille as you could mount them on the bull bar. I think I got mine for a little over $300 in autoanything.com free shipping. Ill have to check.

Neither one is really going to offer much protection. Low speed and a small deer, maybe. But not a larger deer or higher speeds. Also, if you get in a collision with another vehicle, it's likely to cause a heck of a lot more damage because it will fold in and damage your grill and hood.
If you're gonna be mowing down deer or small children, you should get something like this:

I dont really want one for protection just looks, and im not worried about how much harm it does in an accident because insurance is paying for repairs anyway but I was already kinda leaning toward full grill guard and you all just helped me decide to go ahead and get one
