Default Brush Guard off 97 DI

Hey I found this on CL and, I know it's probably a no, but was curious if it would fit on my 04 with a little trimming. What'd you guys think?

Not even close, plus that one has a tendency to rust real bad.

yes it will fit, the mounting holes will line up. however you will have to cut holes into the lower portion of your bumper for the rails to go into. not to mention, removing the bumper and then placing the tabs for the brush guard on is no easy feat for one person. it's easier with two people and a floor jack or two. like mike said they rust up pretty good, and $100 is way too much for that anyways. if i were you i would just get an aftermarket steel bumper.

Fair enough. Glad I checked with you guys first! Funny you say they are quick to rust, because it looks like it's already rusting in the picture!

it has a coating on it and it will rust right behind the coating if there is a break in the coating and there is a major break in the coating on that one so it will be rusted up good. i sold mine which had nearly no rust on it for $75... but you can buy a steel bumper used for $400 and be able to run thru more obstacles without damage.
