    ECB Bullbar

    I put my hand up to show off the new ECB Bullbar for the D5. I must admit it looks far better in real life than what the pictures do it justice. I have the ability to powder coat it black, or loire Blue. What do you guys think. Or leave it polished Alloy.

    I can tell you its a solid bar and very well thought out. Yes it looks ugly in the pics but its practical and designed well.

    Yeah looks the goods. I reckon black, especially if that’s your accessories ‘theme’.

    Colour coded always looks good too - just depends if you want it to blend a bit more.

    The lower skirt needs to be blacked out - then would look OK with the bumper and the upper bar work left as polished alloy or colour coded.

    Now what you going to do about the ugly back end of the D5

    Hi Lee.
    Thanks for the photos. Looks ok but I’m not sure about all those squared-off holes.
    Does it involve cutting of the guards or anything? Will it take a winch?

    Hi Tony,

    I asked same questions and they all serve a purpose for air flow. the Square plastic insert are actually angled up at the back. The other square holes are for the camera.

    I think painting it black would make it less obvious.

    Looks the part and black or colour coded would be better in my opinion
    Are they doing a winch compatible bar ?

    With all the cut outs, it re-minds me of the mask worn by Hannibal Lecter.

    Well, you asked. I think it looks horrible to put a bar over the existing bumper bar.

    No need, is fixed now. Compared to the front it looks a million dollars.
