    or have one custom made locally, but be ready to pay for it.

    Also search other threads on here for the same subject. Some people have used a Lexus brush guard, but I do not like it half as much as Tone's listed above.

    Brushgaurd + deer = brushgaurd in grill
    Brushgaurds are not designed to take heavy hits and will bend inward upon impact of something the size of a deer at driving speeds. Might want to look into haveing something a bit sturdier fabricated.

    My VX was run into a wall by a tech early this year and I had Tone's brushguard mounted. I sustained more damage because of it, since it folded down into the hood and around the front fenders. Just know that there is a big difference between a brushguard for SHOW and one that is FUNCTIONAL. I think the majority of them on the market are for SHOW, so watch what you buy.

    I had a local steel fabricator make me a custom bar to protect my precious plastic and steel when I'm off-roading...



    Its attached to the bumper mounts on my JDM model - I assume it will be the same on yours.
