    This bumper looks like a Chin strap on a dumb kids helmet

    ARB lazy-assed it and basically said fuck it just cut up your stock bumper to fit our modified bumper for pre-2012 on the 12+ 2nd gens. For 3rd gens its about the only thing they could do to fit their large profile bumper.

    Your right. The big issues is the fact that the lower fascia extends up past the grilles, whereas prev model years there usually is that nice clean horizontal where the fenders and grille all match up.

    I assume you are referring to pics of the ARB fitment? if so:
    Easy shortcut to retain the signature ARB look, but to me sits out too far. Looks like it's main purpose is to serve the typical ARB kangaroo smasher means.

    Yeah looks like it would have shitty approach angle on the 2016 due to length from the front wheels
