Default Tube bumper design, what do you all think?

So I'm thinking of doing a tube bumper for my Dodge, and drew this up out of boredom. I'm gonna play around some more and think of something else to try too, but this is what I got so far:

Two holes in the front are for fog lamps, and the square is for the receiver mount for a winch. Again, I still gotta play with it some more, so it's not done.

I'm thinking of adding some tow hooks, and maybe some brush guards. Not sure yet.

EDIT

Already made some changes. Noticed that the grille portion was extremely small, so made that bigger, and chopped the under light portions a bit:

I thought that looked familiar.
If you havn't seen my ranch hand bumper thread check it out.
Nearly identical to your plans

What do you mean "your" design? I did actually take the time to draw that.

I had seen ONE picture of firemedics truck, and I did ask, but I never did look at that thread again. I didn't even know there was such a thing as "Ranch Hand".

Thanks for the compliment, though.

While I do like the Ranch Hand one, it sticks out a little too far for my taste. This one I plan on having put pretty darn close to the grille.
