underride protection

what do you think of this .... (see picture) .... i've been searching for "real life" pictures online but can't find any. i'm really considering this as my next addition.

ive been seriously considering this myself as well... its between this and the aero kit. both look nice in my opinion... but underride protection might be better as im more likely to hit a kangaroo here in australia.

yet to see real life pics as well... practicality i think maybe underride, looks wise i think go for aero kit

How does it protect your car/bumper from hitting a kangaroo? When you do, your bumper will still hit it first, then you'll go over it, that's when the under ride protects your under bumper, won't it?

Go with the aero kit instead... I was debating as well... there is better visual show to the car with the aero kit...

You can have both according to the configurator. ;) But if it's between the two, the aero kit looks better. I'd imagine this underride protection would be a nice change so you can't go wrong with either.

Both:

Sorry if you misunderstood. It will offfer some protection, im not saying it will protect it completely. If you note , the nudge bar does stick out a little bit... so hopefully that will be point of contact then underride as you run over.

However agree with nynd though - aero kit looks better

Go the aerokit, they look awesome and finish the car off

Hope you getting some well deserved rain up there in QLD!
