If you want now, I would suggest Alta. If you can wait til January, I've heard that a reputable NAM sponsor/vendor is going to put one out that suppose to be better than both of these. This is why I'm holding off until then.

I actually don't have any info to release and it's not really my place to do so. When I placed an order for an AGS system, I asked about the bar because I heard from word of mouth about it. I wanted clarification that they were going to produce it and when so that I could hold off on buying the light bar and compare to the other two. Sorry to tease you but I thought I'd let you know before you bougth one.

I like the look of the lights mounted on the bumper. Can any be mounted without having to cut something? In other words, can you take them back off with out being able to tell they were ever there?

With the rangeline brackets, you need to cut 2 small sections (4 if you have 2 pair installed) out of the lower grill, If you were to remove them, the grill could be replaced cheaply while the bumper cover is off. I like to use the PIAA 540 which I retail for $249. The brackets are $160 for the pair, and I charge $275 for installation.
