Deer bumper guard advice

Does anyone know of any decent looking, solid bumper/front end protection guards that aren’t cheap looking? I’d rather not replace the entire bumper but just add some protection against the pesky 4 legged insurance premium killers. But, if replace it... I want it to look nice, reaaaaal nice

 

You're going to catch a lot of flak here about bumper guards/bull bars, so before the grouch patrol gets here and does it all mean-like, I'll let you know politely that what you're looking for may not exist.

Bull bars are typically OK for shopping carts or maybe low-speed kisses with corners and fenceposts, but they actually tend to make the damage WORSE when hitting a large or medium animal, or even a low(er) speed impact with another vehicle. They tend to buckle inwards and smash the grille, radiator, and hood when you might have otherwise got away with a bumper.

This is simply due to the nature of how they mount and how they're constructed. Sorry!

 

Bumper guards/bull bars = damage multipliers

best advice is to replace with steel bumper

Met a guy in a home cheapo parking lot with a taco loaded for bear.... Related a story about how this was his 2nd taco as he took out a deer with the 1st. Ppl were amazed he was able to drive it home.
He had an ARB bumper with winch up front.
Edit: found the pic I took:

 

No worries, logic tells me that going with a steel replacement is best and an add on would crush inward and create more headaches. Thanks for advice!!

 

I’ll look into this one, thank you for the photo.

 

Even if there's a bull bar with the build strength of a full bumper, you are still not getting full front end protection.
