Doesn't look like much of a guard to me. Looks like if you hit something it would still push back into your front bumper thus negating the intended purpose.

I think it looks pretty cool, can you mount driving lights onto them?

Thought that was the only reason for them?

They wouldn't offer any real protection, even at walking pace.
