I know some people here are not into front tubes, but I like to tell you from experience that nobody has tapped my front bumper in the parking lot ever since I got my bullbar. Or hit me in the rear for that matter, tube there too. In the nearly 3 years I had the tubes.
I got the bullbar because some douchebag hit my front bumper and smashed my license plate cover which broke and chipped the paint too. I think it was this big truck that I parked behind. Funny thing was that I was parked behind it and was facing its rear. All it had to do was exit by driving forward. How the *x^#! did it hit me UNLESS it backed up first! Dumb Idiot driver!
It sucked that somebody hit my new car the first couple of months I got it.
ps- these are great to have in places like NYC where parking is a premium.
