Any opinions?

I have this exact brush guard and it looks great and it is heavy duty.

I bought one of the black, "Show Off" model grills from Ebay. About a month later, I t-boned a lady at WalMart who pulled in front of me from the parking spaces. I did well over $2,500 to her Chevy Aveo while my H3 suffered about $1200 damage (paint scrapes to bumper, cracked headlamp assembly, dented bumber cover, scraped grill and tow hook, and trashed brush guard). However, everything remained functional and the body manager told me that I was very lucky to have had the brush guard on or the damage would have been much worse. I replaced the grill with the identical model follwoing all repairs and my H3 is now looking for another Aveo to munch on!!

I'd put the money into after-market Diff insurance.

I love the look of the Manic heavy duty, but I wish it had one more bar coming down to protect the outer edge of the running light.
