I have 3 options ( I think)
1. Tube style.
2. Tube style, but openings plated.
3. Full on plate bumpers.
I will be adding fenders hoops from the bumpers to the sliders as well.

tube with plate filler or plate.
Been working a plan for fender protection myself. Think a plane basically ready, but need to wait til final bumper is built and installed

I'm partial to tube... Nice and simple.
I own too many vehicles now. Let's leave it at that.

I will most likely go with tube, but Im starting to like the idea of filling in the openings with some metal.

Yea I think tube, but some plate over the openings is cool. I think it'll tie into the sliders better.

It'll help keep sticks and stuff from sticking into your radiator...

I'm more partial to plate, but I have seen some tube/plate bumpers that looked nice.
