Default Dirt Bound Offroad Extreme Duty Winch Bumper

Finally broke down and got me a winch bumper. I went for the Dirtbound Offroad extreme duty DIY bumper kit. Would Highly reccommend to someone looking for a nice winch bumper. Shipped to my door with the brush guard pre-bent and cut was only 350$ (shipped cross country)

Pros:
-Light weight (can install by myself)
-Tough, it has held up to everything so far
-(no winch yet) but it seems to protect it fairly well
-Cost
-Looks great

Cons:
-Not very clear directions for DIY kit
-It doesnt come with a free winch

I decided to paint mine a hammered copper finish
What do y'all think?

I realize you already painted it, but if you wanted to clean up the "rough edges" (pun intended) you could grind the welds flush and it would make it look a lot sharper.

I was thinking the same thing. But, Not bad looking other wise.
