Not bad.

I like bumpers made out of that tubing, they're not too intrusive.

It kinda looks like it's poking it's tunge out.

Yeah not bad, but I'm not a fan of the all chrome grill, I would paint over most of it so that just the edges are shown.

Sorry Ben but I don't think that bar will save you from a roo :( The roo will just go up, over and through your windsheild :'( Unless of cause you hit it while it's head is down. Then the bar will probably just break it's neck ???

It'll help with bumper parkng though ;) I'm always worried about my front being scuffed by somebody elses tow ball
