What is ugly?
I am thinking something like this that looks like near full coverage and looks like protects the grill and headlights
defintiely not this wouldnt stop a rabbit from busting a grill

RC I have a friend that ran/owned a body shop. I asked this same question several years ago. The only ones that helped were just plain ugly in his opinion. The good looking ones on the front of a truck just added to the cost of the total repair. He loved those as it added $$$ to the estimate and his bottom line.
Beautiful truck WW, very nice.
River on the Brush guard question. In a head on low speed (20/30.mph??) deer hit I think it might help. A few years ago I hit one going 60 mph, left front 1/4. took out 1/2 the front and most of the left side, 6k in damage. I had a $500 deductible. So a $1000 deer guard would have done nothing much. It's a tough call to say would it payoff? I think they look good and in the right case surely could help, but it's not going to stop all the damage.

Bug zapper 2 you're right that would look really sweet, I guess I didn't think of it because my last truck was all black with chrome wheels. At least the wheels are not Chrome they are polished aluminum. They're not eye blinking Chrome then I would not have bought them. Maybe I'll get some winter tires with black rims no my wife would not let me!
