This looks custom to the F-sport. I may get this one.

Question Bull Bar

Has anyone tried to install a bull bar to their 4RX? It's really hard to find one that doesn't interfere with the front parking sensors.

I got this for the front bumper because it's a lot more low key than those BumpShock license plate covers.

I also got a Bully Bumper Hitch step and protector for the rear. I thought I had a picture of it but I guess it's on my phone. I ordered by through Amazon.

but it screws into and mounts to plastic. Is there support behind the grill where it mounts, ? If not, I don't get the purpose.
thanks

I screwed my directly on but I'm sure there's a way to reinforce it so it is more secure. I got this because of a friend of mine in NYC uses it and it has saved his front bumper from other parallel parkers.

Default Bumper bull/guards

i just bought an rx450hl and I’ve been looking at the bumper bulls. But I read the parking sensor would have to be turned off so I’ll do the other bumper front version and the back guards. And advice on where to buy and which brand to stick with?

Default Any nice looking bumper protecting bars? RX F Sport

Living in NYC I really need to get that silver bar for the front and back or something to protect the bumpers that doesn’t look corny. Anyone got pics of their cars with bumper protection? Trying to figure out what’s the best one. 2017 RX F Sport

I got this for the rear. I like it a lot and I think it's pretty durable. I ordered a bull bar for the front from carID because it said it didn't interfere with the parking sensors but returned it because the installation required cutting and I didn't want to do that.

It requires cutting part of the car ? Oh hellllll no! Thanks for that info lol. I’m sure they make ones that don’t require cutting. Now that you showed me black is probably better then the usual silver bar that sticks out so much since my car is black

Only thing is it sticks out so much I can’t back up right up to someone if I’m in a tight spot or I’ll hit them. What else is there for bumper protection that doesn’t look bad?

It's honestly not bad at all. I have had no problem when backing up or parallel parking. I don't have any pictures on my computer but I'll upload a picture from my phone when I get a chance.
