Default Can you get a cowguard for a Lexus NX?

Hi all,
I've looked at all the SUV hybrids across Mitsubishi, Acura, Lexus, Honda, and Toyota. Lexus SCREAMS awesomeness. But the only question I have is this, can you get a cowguard for any of the Lexus SUV's?. I can't see any in Google Images, but it would just be nice to know if they at least existed. I will be driving in the worst conditions imaginable, talking about a daily drive in the winters of BC, through a mountain pass, where mooses and deer wander, and large snowbanks and stuff exist.

Something to protect the front of a Lexus NX Hybrid would be nice, but there just isn't anything out there that I can find.

Is there such a thing?. Thanks in advance!.

You're better off with a Tundra and a custom bull bar. If it works against kangaroos in the outback, it'll work against Canadian cattle

I had a panicked yak run downhill at my ES after a semi scattered a herd of them. I had the car in reverse, ready to race downhill backwards, but luckily the yak was smart enough to jump the guard rail and scamper down the mountain.

If you google "lexus nx bull bar", it shows :

Looks like it's made by Vanguard.

Of course you might run into a herd of yearling elk out on the Interstate . . .

Another thing to realize is that on a unibody vehicle like the NX a bull bar like that doesn't do much good since theres no frame to attach it to. Something like that is really just for looks.
