Default OEM A-Frame

Hi everyone - wanted to get the community's thoughts on whether to add the OEM A-Frame - personally I like the look (combined with the wheel arch protection kit) but also noticed in the photos on the site I haven't seen many with the A-frame as part of the build. Anyone have any thoughts? Would love to hear since I need to make a decision on it before my car gets to the port....Thanks!

You like the look, that's what matters. I do too, just not $1000-like, if you know what I mean. You could get it and then remove it should reality fall short of expectations. That is, as long as installation didn't involve any disfiguring alterations. Maybe someone who has done the installation can chime in?

I just had mine installed by the dealership. It’s pricey, but I felt like I needed something to protect the front end from other cars potentially backing into my vehicle when parked.

Here’s mine. I had it installed by the dealership. I like the way it looks and that it adds some light protection for the front end of the car.

After reading the install instructions, I had the dealership install mine.

Here’s mine. I like the look and the added protection to the front end since there wasn’t really a “bumper”.

Even if it only serves to protect the front from a shopping cart, I gotta say it looks great. Nicely done.

And don’t forget, protect it from terrible parallel parkers! 😆
