before you try to flame me, yes ive searched lol.
i own a 90' swb vitara and ive noticed that the bumpers, ( especially the front) are a bit of an eye saw and was wondering if anyone knows of a barwork design that doesnt look so bad

Don't know how much you have to spend, but I think the ARB Bulbar is a great design.
I have seen a pile of designs for the rear bumper mainly tube ones.
If you have any welding skills you could make a rear bar yourself.
I made one out of scrap materials.

The original plastic rear bumper would catch on the MTR's when off-road and was a bit original condition from car park hits.
The idea behind my rear bar was clearance when off-road and to hid the bodywork, etc
Some of the tube bars look nice but everything is exposed.
I made the rear bar out a leftover steel from other jobs.
Not sure how much it would cost to buy the steel, other then the use of a mig and your own time shouldn't cost very much
