Default is this light bar custom?

I'm in the market for a light bar for the front end. I think this is the only one i've seen yet besides the oem one for $1K+ that I like. And for my color I'm not even sure I like the oem one.

that looks custom. We have the Land Rover light bars for $180 if you want one.

Even if it is custom, it doesn't look as good as the LR one.

I looked on your site and couldn't find a single brush guard type light bar so I'm sure I just over looked something. Could you send me a link please?

That's pretty subjective. On certain colors like the blacks and greys I couldnt agree more that the simple OEM one looks better to me then all others. But on monte carlo blue I'm not sure how I feel about it. I havent seen a single one with the guard so I have nothing to go off of. I do know that I don't like the looks of the black fender flairs on the monte carlo blue.
I like how simple the light bar pictured is.

Monte carlo is the only vehicle I've installed a genuine on.

I took this photo of the genuine one mated to a Terrafirma TF009 front bumper, without the lights installed.

I think that's the one that used to be sold as a genuine LR accessory through dealers. You can still get it from John Craddock in the UK, and the last time I bought from them shipping wasn't bad at all!

UK VAT is 20% but you guys in the US should get it VAT free. I don't know what import duties you have to pay though. The price is circa $65. without VAT.

That's very nice and makes the fender flairs fit right in and look nice too.
And newb me had no idea that's the light bar you were referring to.
I like that one

Anyone know the distance between the the holes the lights mount to on the genuine one? I'd like to pair one with a terrafirma front bumper when I finally get it one, but I think an led light bar would look better than 2 big lights.
