It would be cool if you incorporated a skid to protect the under rider bar

i think this is what is throwing it off as is. Grab the corner where the arrow is and drag it back towards where the leading edge of the flares would be. Leave room for the custom flares such as xenons etc. But this will look better and less like it was deisgned for a hummer with the all flat front end.

While I can understand everyone's cries of removing the side bars, and making it a modular design, there are those of us that live in commie states that will fail you on inspection if your bumpers don't come out to the edge of the vehicle! So we end up getting screwed by having to pay almost double for the side wings(which seems to be about the industry price average for the end add-ons)! That's definitely not cool for us. They should make different side wings available as options to change the looks, but keep them on there for all of the bumpers, as well as the grille guard bar and lights. Keep them all, just add different style options so that those of us aren't penalized with a higher price tag over legislation that we can't avoid.

Well since you don't have a machine shop and don't weld you probably haven't had much occasion to price metal lately. The price of metal has gone nuts. And of course you have to pay the guys doing the cutting, bending, welding, packing, selling and shipping. So no, I don't think 200 is reasonable.
