    IDK how these guys drive with those bumpers long term. My radiator was taking major rock hits with the little holes in my Relentless bumper so I covered them with mesh. One small stone placed in the wrong spot could ruin your rad not to mention trap you somewhere.

    Now I’m not a big fan of the new front bumper, kind of looks Hondaish to me, but man I'll tell you what I think this set-up looks real clean on the 12. It follows the lines of the bumper perfectly.

    I've always liked this light bar, if you want to call it that. I like that it serves a purpose (offers some protection), doesn't drop down too much like the Bull Bars do, and retains the bottom bumper not leaving a big voids like the full hybrids bumpers do.

    Looks great and really liking the black on black, definitely keep it on my opinion.

    You should definitely leave it off, then PM me when you want to sell it!! :D

    j/k man, I love that look!!!! And should be doing the same to mine in the very near future!! Do you have any plans for the rear bumper? Avid does not have a matching rear bumper right??

    Hey WW, I know you've had yours on for some time now, any cons to this bumper? Does it provide enough coverage for the front side fenders? It looks like it doesn't wrap completely around. Or is this something that you don't have to really worry about?

    I've had it on over 2 years not and no issues at all!!:D It doesnt wrap all the way around to the front fenders but thats nothing that you have to worry about IMO.
