Here is mine, it comes in black or silver, the black option at the jcwhitney site has the extra bar across the top.

not the greatest instructions in the world, the brackets were marked wrong for mine so took some reading, re reading and simple trial and error to get it right...requries some minor modification to the dust plate behind the bumper/under-between the grill and bumper, for some braces to go through. but it bolts right into the frame and it is solid. I really figure if I nail a deer that the there will be zero damage. I wanted the full width around the headlights cause I use it going through a lot of brush and it keeps everything completely away from my headlights. otherwise for bull bars there are some basic ones that are round bar that come up the front, flimsy and wont stop to much, mor for looks then anything else. Or they have bars that can come up the front for mounting lights, they come up and out a little but wont protect the bumper in any way. from what I have seen, this is the only truely functional brush/bull bar for the factory bumper.
all in all I am very happy with it, took about 2 hours to get on and done right since you have to cut slits into the dust guard, I wanted it right and tight
. if you go this route, I would recommend doing any modifications first that require taking the grille off that you want done because you cannot take the grill of without first removing the upper supports on the brush guard later, kind of a PIA.
