Front Aftermarket Bumper Question ('14 Trail)

[Big Murth]

I'm really gripping over a decision to bite the bullet and get something that will stand up to a lot of abuse, protect the front end from a deer or elk visit, and provide a place(s) to attach some recovery hardware, if required---as it is now, the plastic front bumper is useless unless you're in a low-speed fender bender, period.
Been doing my homework, and have boiled it down to Shrockworks as it seems to have a stout design and minimalist visual impact and I like how they shield the fancy headlamps on my '14 Trail....boy howdy, that's a lot of money, but would love to know if any other Trail owners (2014) have got the SW bumper and if that design will enable changing a headlamp/housing without removing the entire bumper (light hoops look to be all part of the one piece bumper)---and, how did the installation go?
Oh yeah, went to their website and it has a spot for discount coupons---do they run some discounts or is that just their webmaster's retail ordering template? The last discount I heard they gave was when they designed and started production of a 5th Gen front bumper (10%) for the first wave of customers in 2011.
Thanks in advance for any info/insight you can share, Forum members:juggle:

If you choose to order a SW bumper and can stand the long wait you will not be dissapointed. It took about 5 months for mine to deliver, other than that it is built very strong the recovery points are very thick welded through nicely and the approach angle is awesome compared to the stock bumper. I don't have the hoops that surround the headlights but I would say that it is possible to remove the head lamp housing since you should still be able to access the mounting bolts with the hood open and the cover removed.
The installation is fairly simple but a lot easier with help from a buddy since the bumper is not light trying to pickup and mount alone. I used a motorcycle jack with some boards to help lift it up to the mounting points.

The discount coupon is for the group buys they do once or twice a year.
