Default Stinger visibility-
Possibly a stupid question but does the addition of a stinger impact driving visibility?

I should think it makes it easier to tell how far you can pull into the garage before you poke a hole in the wall.

Yes, exactly. I love the stinger on my Jeep for just that reason. The top of the stinger sticks past the hood about 4 inches. I know that the top of that bar is the furthest forward point on my Jeep. Makes judging distance very easy.

My vision is still good with my Xrc stinger. It really does help judge with distance for Parking in a garage, or up next to a wall.

Mine sticks out and let's me know how far away I am from things. Also, it's tough as hell so if I misjudge distance, hitting the object won't hurt my Jeep

Being a Jk owner for only 2 years I never felt 100% confident like when parking and pulling up to things...., the stinger was the best thing that could have happened LOL
Plus I love the look too. Not the best pics
