Default VDP Stubby end cap kit

Anyone try one of these?

http://www.quadratec.com/products/12106_0004_07.htm

I like the light weight of the stock front bumper and I really don't want to replace it (until I manage to break it). That said, I'd like a bumper that allows for greater clearance, etc. This seems like a economical fit for me.

Thoughts?

My buddy put them on his Jeep about a month ago. It was very easy and turned out looking good. I'll snap a pic when I get a chance.

Watch the 'daily' holiday specials on RC's website and see if theirs go on sale. Don't know if there is any actual difference between them, but they look similar.

I put mine on a couple weeks ago and really like it. Easy install, and it looks good.

I have the VDP kit, but have been real lazy about putting it on. Plus with the snow I have been getting in my part of the world doesn't help.
