Some ideas:
In order to target more people, have lots of options, for instance:
Start with the basic winch-mount bumper, that is pre-drilled to accept PureJeep Shackle-mounts (it's cheaper for you to drill 8 holes than fab up brackets), two large holes that will accept factory fogs fitted into special cans, and the bumper comes in raw steel, no finish.
Now the options:
Optional winch block-off plate(s) for those that don't have a winch yet.
Optional light bar/winch guard/hoop whatever you call it.
Optional universal fog cans that can be cut to accept factory fogs, or whatever lights that will fit inside the can.
I think it would be cheapest for you to produce it this way. You have 1 bumper to fab, and several optional pieces to fab. Then weld the optional hoop onto the bumper, if requested. We would be responsible for adding our PureJeep shackle mounts, fitting the fog lights into the cans, and finishing the bumper in Line-X, or whatever.
If I had a machine shop and could weld I would do this. It seems like you could produce and sell a basic, no options bumper for ~$200. Is that an unreasonable price?

I respect this opinion but I think that if the side wings were angled in toward the body like the stock it might improve the apearance just enough. I feel like you guys are on the right track for creating something different. I also like the higher center bar and the angling.
