Default Kc light bar VS Ranch Hand style grille guard

I am thinking of getting rid of my Kc-hilites front light bar to get a black powdercoated grille guard (most likely ranch hand or renegade which is nearly identical). I currently have 4 100w lights on the bar. Most likely I will be posting the light bar in the classifieds section. Here are some pics of the truck, its an 05 1500 4x4 2" level. You guys think I should ditch the light bar and go for the grille guard? I'll see if I can find a pic of the grille guard that I am wanting. http://www.cannonballengineering.com...rillguards.cfm

yeah, I ain't a big fan of the look of those type of grill guards, although they are very functional.

If I was gonna go that route, personally I'd opt for the bumper/grill guard combo. Now they look bada$$...

To the top for opinions. Have also thought about powdercoating the light bar black and then painting the lights black, maybe by using plasti dip or something like that. Grille shell and bug deflector are also about to be black

That is not a good looking guard. Stick with the light bar or go with a prerunner bar.
