It looks better than I thought it would, and I think it'd look better with the ends chopped off as you suggest.

i think it looks very good together with the roof-rack etc. Like that outback/safari - look . Would keep the cornes ON. Did you have to do much modification to the marina to make it fit ??

I'd leave the wraparound on, it fits so well.

Have you run this past the rally scrutineers? I recall some regs limiting the use of bump/nerf/bull bars in some types of rally.
