I think Xmodification MIGHT do it. He made something like that for his Baja Truck.

I can make it as close to that as possible since the scale is pretty small, but I could do it for ya for sure, probably like $25 shipped? I figure about $6 in materials (solder, brass and primer paint) $4 for shipping and about $15 for my labor, cuz they are very tricky to get straight. I could also make a rear one for you if you'd like

BTW, which bumper will you be using? The stocker or the body kit one? That'll determine how I have to build it to mount it to your bumper. I just drilled holes in my front bumper and glued it on.

question sky why not build them out of solid stock and use a blow torch to make the bends in the metal and solder as little as possible. I thought about buying solid steel rods and making them for a while now

Stallion, my payment options are paypal and personal check (I'll send you the item once the check clears )

xmodsnut, the stock is solid rod and it can be bent with pliers very easily. I do as many bends as possible before having to solder any joints. My front brushguard consists of 4 pieces that I soldered together, 1 for the outer shape and 3 center supports.

Plus I can't exactly use a blowtorch in my apartment living room,

I'll get my good camera working tonight and take some better pics of my guards I made for my F-150. They really look nice and the solder looks just like a weld joint would on a real brushguard.

you could make it urself. it would be hard, but a rewarding project. for example, the lights could be from the light kit in the blue f-150 kit.
