Default ghetto fab bumper opinions

so,building a new b bar.
can not decide. go with the low bar under the lights or not?
I would just roll without but I have a small side panel protector going back towards the cab. I can not decide if it looks funky with it being smaller diameter than the center low bar or not. but the 3/4" is the only size that does not cover my goofy azz hi beam. penny for your thoughts... please?
pic with and pic without

edit added the 2 pics from below post
edit added finished look

Default another thought

edit:removed pic of tight curve low bar and added the one from above ....I think it is down to these 2.

thought I'd give this a look. trying not to make it look too busy, but it does accomplish the "save my lights" goal.
whatchathink?
sorry about the clamps and stuff, but I think you can get the idea.
these pics are 2 different radius bends and prolly not parallel with the upper bar....that I will remedy, in the end. just sticking ideas up there.
thank you for your input....TWSS

I got some wonderful input from the family, this morning. one kid said "the pink one", promptly followed with her sister; "green one", and mom summed it up with "what's the difference"

thanks for the opinions. I appreciate it. it looks like the afterthought design is the front runner. I will give it till this evening(see if anyone starts calling it girly looking), before I sniff anymore toxic galvanized gasses
