Bull Bar for GX

Bull Bar for GX
Where can I find a bull bar (just in the middle, not all the way across & covering the lights like a full brush guard) that will fit the GX, I looked at JCWhitney.com, but none of those pictured gave me the option of picking Lexus as a custom fit.
Yes, I did already search the forums for 'bull bar' and did not find a good thread.
I did see a few pics of a bull bar mounted on a GX, but no details about it.
or, know of any custom car shops that will do it for me in No. VA (DC metro area), order the part plus install?
Thanks for any feedback.

This is the same one at JCWhitney.com, the Westin ultimate. I like it, but kinda wish it was all black, not chromish at the bottom.
JC has it for $349, how much did you pay? Was the install easy, just bolts underneath?
You order PIAA lights? Where do those get wired to, do you have to install a separate switch on the dash, etc? Are you doing the lights yourself or taking to a shop? Just curious, I have neved done this stuff.
Looks awesome BTW. I have a blizzard(or whatever word they use) white GX, so I think the black bar will look better than chrome.

Did you have to remove the tow hooks? I have not been all the way under to look, is is just bolts with a socket wrench to remove & then install the hardware? Thanks.
Oh and it is truckCHAMP (not chump, lol) slight typo there.

OK cool. Since I am in VA, we have front plates on the vehicles, I am concerned that the bar you got may block some of my plate (espically if I also add lights). But Westin does have a different style that looks a bit wider with more of an opening (but without the grill cover piece at the bottom), so that may be a good option to keep the front plate in view.

i think the skid plate is more cosmetic cause it does not extend all the way back parallel to the bumper/frame where you attach the bracket. i'd say it only protect the bumper. i hope it helps.

you must be talking about the westin safari light bar. i considered that as well but i think it's just too skinny for our truck (i'm talking bout the diameter of the bar). it's only 2'' instead of 2.5'' like mine.

yes, exactly, the safari light bar. yeah I was thinking that it does look a bit skinnier & less beefy, but I think that the wider spacing is going to be required so that my front license plate is not partially blocked.
Are you adding lights to your bar? If so, are you running the wiring yourself?
