I understand what you are saying about the grille guards not being very solid. However, here in Miami, I want the grille guard to avoid crappy drivers nudging my bumper and scratching the heck out of it as well as when I go off road , to keep the vegetation from scracthing my headlights and stuff.
I don't like those billet grilles either. I want to toughen up the look of my pathy, not make it look like a Chevy.....
I understand the grille guard would probably cause more damage than anything else in a serious crash but ain't that why I pay full coverage on this leased vehicle

??....
As the price difference goes, it is not as big as you'd think. The aries would be $318 + $90 shipping = $409 while the WAAG is $ 479 but I get free shipping......
Though choice......
Thanks for the answers though.
