Yeah it snowed but it was about 33 or 34 here on the ground so it was melting as it fell. Supposed to stay below freezing all night and some more rain so there may be some snow on the ground.

Sorry Gary, I didn't want to mess with getting bolts and washers and stuff to do a test fit. I did do a photoshop test fit

The cut in the plate goes on either side of the vertical support of the body/radiator support. The bracket-to-guard holes make it seem like it will point down some. I think its just since they're separated, it makes it hard to judge angles. I'll get a test fit on some time this week though

hammer01 posted a how to for it earlier. It's called the zuk mod but I doubt I'll be doing it. If I need more lift in the back I'll add another leaf

I didn't have enough hardware so the weight of the guard is just kind of holding bolts in place which is why it's tilting so far down.

If anyone knows what brand this is, let me know. I've ruled out Hunter and Westin as the top bar on those is entirely between the vertical bars and this one, the top bar is outside the vertical bars. I've also never seen a guard with mount/brackets like this before.

Does it interfere with your headlights at all? Hit the valence?
