Ugghh!!
With the Aluminum painted fascia in the lower panel, the chrome on the grill (for '05's) and the stainless on the guard someone might mistake the front end for a metal recycling container.

Yes it does have light mounting holes. It will be going on a Salsa Limited so the lower panel will be Salsa and no chrome on the grill. Yes it does look big but I wanted a guard that would protect the whole bumper. This seems to be the only one that does that. The brackets are real strong and it mounts in four places. It weighs a little over 50 lbs., so it won't be too much on the front end. The Jaos weighs about the same so I'm hoping it is made the same way. I can't get a picture from the side, which bothers me, but. I found it on eBay.

It will work if you like chrome, I would prefer to have a black one with your red T4R. It looks like the picture is taken with a wide-angle lens and that is why it seems distorted and overly large. I would recommend getting more pictures before committing to such a significant amount of money.

Man that is a lot of dough for a brush gaurd. More than what a real front bumper (read ARB or TJM) would cost.
The top picture just doesn't sit right. The thing is way too big for the 4R, looks like an Excursion guard they put on a 4R. Also as said previously the front "scoop" is way too low and will be grabbing dirt the whole day long.
The price would be in the ballpark.

The reason I want overkill is my neighbor had his trailblazer's front-end damaged twice (someone backed into it) on my block. I live on a dead-end. At the end of my block is a baseball/soccer/football/roller hockey field. Almost every day inconsiderate idiots park like nuts all over the place. On Sat/Sun a cop has to park on the street to keep the residents from slapping the shit out of these brain dead people. This is happening even after the street is blocked off to none residents.

that's only going to work if someone backs straight into your front end. Someone with a lower bumper backs in to the corner below one of the headlights, and you still lose the front end, then you're out $$ for the guard and $$$ for the front end....
I'd suggest using a die canister (or multiples) attached to the front end (like they use for clothing). At least you will have the culprit marked (permanently) with this approach.
