stainless guards

[DonnyB]

Summer is here! I was looking around for a Manik Stainless Steel Grill Guard for the front, a stainless steel rear bumper guard, and the useless blingy stainless steel tail guards. I can only find the tail guards online (Manik). I saw Manik's website says "version 2.0" and it appears as though they are back in business? I sent them an inquiry but haven't heard back from them yet. So, anyways I decided to check eBay out and I found a stainless front grill guard and rear bumper guard that looked nice. My 4Runner is silver like the one pictured. Opinions please!!??

Front Guard: $339.00 (free ship):

Rear Guard: $230.00 + $59.00 ship - $289.00 total:

Let me know what you guys think or if you know of any better deals, thanks!

Anyone with past experience? Think it'd be a good buy or should I pay more and stick with a brand name? ..or know of a place to order the Manik from? I can't seem to be able to even google it

*edit: I should mention that I can't afford, well can't justify anyways, spending the amount of money on the nice Jaos accessories. I might be able to swing the skid plate if I can't find any others for less, but that'd be about it!

Alright... no responses, most likely because not many people on this forum seem to like the flashy guards or brush guards all together. you all seem to prefer bull guards from reading all the threads I've read. I decided to wing it, bought both, but am still debating on whether or not to throw money away on the useless tail light guards... I think they'd look nice to compliment the front, but I know they're totally useless. I'll post pics up after the install if anyone wants to see. Oh, anyone want to link me to a picture of a 4th Gen w/ those stainless tail guards? I've tried with no luck to find one, but know I've seen one on here before like last fall. -Don

Yes, you may be right about not all 4Runners are classy street machines. I'm still thinking of other ideas for my Titanium Sport. Hang in there, there are those that like the full brush guards. I've only seen one tail guard that stuck out too far, not sure if it was Manik. luck
