Looks good, what are the holes in the bumper above the license plate for? Also, how do you like those headlights?

thanks, the holes are from the previous light bar I had on there, it was some cheap little thing I bought last year. I plan on either patching and painting the holes or putting some little running light led's in them. I love the headlights, made such a difference when I put them in. Haven't had a halo or led go out yet.

Such a difference in light output? I like my lights now that I painted them, but have been thinking about upgrading to a pair similar to yours because the stock light output sucks IMO. That's one of the main reasons I added the Hella's.

the output is about the same because they aren't retrofitted so I couldn't put HIDs in them. I put in simulated HID bulbs which give the appearance of a 7000k HID light but with the output of a halogen. All in all though for $160 they are great. My fogs are super bright already and ill be putting HIDs in them soon so between them and the KC's, visibility isn't an issue. I like the way you painted your, I would say throw some HIDs in there and your set.

Looks great. 220 is not a bad price.

Ah, looks just like the Westin, now I know why. The Hunter stuff ain't bad and they clone the look of the most popular ones out there. I have a couple of friends with their bull bars, well made, just as strong as the "name brand" ones, but around half the price.
Only complaint I heard is that you gotta watch around the welds on the black painted stuff of theirs, tends to start to rust, but nothing a little wire brush and touch up won't cure...
