Default Front End Mask

Here is a front end mask that I will be installing on my Black GX470. I am also looking at a clear paint protector for the door handle areas so as to keep fingernails from scratching that area. Also, a rear bumper guard might be a wise choice. The rear camera couldn't prevent me from hit a guy's front end with my rear bumper in a crowded West Hollywood street. Thank God there were no scratches, perhaps due to the Xylon teflon/acrylic paint protectant ($960)- inside and outside protection.

I have the the front runner and the rear bumper guard. I think it looks good in person. My car is parked in NYC garages and the guards really work. I prefer the front runner over the front bumper guard that also covers the grill.

I paid about $525 from Autoanything.com. I found the front runner cheaper and Autoanything matched it. If I remember correctly, shipping was included. I installed them myself. It was VERY easy. The only hard thing was getting the bolts loose on the back. You need some leverage on the wrench. I used the spare tire tool to make the wrench handle longer and the bolt came right off.

looking for some input, what do you guys think if I painted the bull guard to match (pine silver) versus chrome?
