Need suggestions...

I bought a set when I first got my Box (Birthday present from my sister, actually). I didn't buy them as a fashion statement (they aren't stylish, IMO); I bought them solely for protection. I live in a rural area where the roads aren't always great and rocks come flying up off tires, where large flying insects, and unfortunately birds, often commit suicide (I've hit easily 1/2 dozen flying birds this year--in my Jeep--and I've done my best to miss them), and general debris winds up on the road from all sorts of places.


Yes, once I saw them, I realised I could probably make them, but they paid for themselves in the first two weeks when, during a thunderstorm a branch got lodged in my new mesh grille. Saved me from having to buy a new radiator, so I have NO regrets. But, that is just me.

I think I will paint them matte black though...one of these days....eventually...whenever I get around to it; the aluminum look isn't my favourite.
