That actually looks nice...If you live in the Australian Outback.
The probability of hitting a deer on a US road is not that high.

Make it unique by increasing power and handling.

I've had several near misses on the backroads of SC and actually had one run into the rear quarter of my car. That's right... he ran slap dab into the side of my car Probably had a pretty good headache after.

I've also had near misses with cows and other animals on the way to my property in southern CO.

I've hardly seen any downtown Charleston or Denver though... So I guess that probability depends on where you live.

Had one run into the side of my Rental Car just outside Miller Motorsports Park in Utah. He was pretty big, bounced off & ran away.

Fair enough...not a whole lotta deer in FL but I'm very familiar with Charleston.

Beautiful city...lots of history to include where the first shots of the Civil War were fired.

My youngest son attends Davidson College. 18 miles from Charlotte.
My wife and I are frequent visitors...but we've rarely seen deer.

Still, unless I were law enforcement, I wouldn't install such a hidious push bar.

I do have them on my Jeep and FJ40 though .

Push Bar or custom license plates?Attachment 971001

I would cut the fenders.
Buy off road wheels and biger and more lights

Not sure which part you live in, but we have a ton of deer running around up here (45 miles north of Tampa).

Scary part is I actually see the most right along U.S. 19, which is a notoriously dangerous highway. Maybe not so much as I-4, but it's pretty nuts. They jump out of the woods and dart right towards the road and then run alongside of it.

I was on my way back from Midland and hit a deer right outside Boerne and luckily the “push bar” saved the front end. Of course that was on a 2500HD, lol. I ran over a raccoon in my SS in December and it took out a good foot of my front splitter right in the middle. Thankfully it didn’t tear up my front fascia.
