So, guys, let's talk about the bull bars first. The importance of a bull bar depends on the type of trips you often take. Actually, bull bars have little to do with bulls but they have a lot to do with other animals, specifically deer.

3" Bull Bar by Aries is manufactured to enhance your safety and minimize the damage your Nissan Frontier 2005-2014 may suffer. Plus, it also may be useful, if you do not want your new bumper to be scratched while parking.

Black steel powdercoated bull bars and grille guards are usually less rust resistant in compare with polished stainless steel items. Stainless steel fusion contains more chromium which withstands the corrosion.

Manufacturer's warranty on black powdercoated parts is usually about 3 years, however stainless steel parts are covered with 5 year or sometimes with lifetime warranty, that is why they have a higher price.

Right, I agree that Black parts are much more suitable in terms of styling. Well in general the difference in rust resistance is not that big, so it is just up to everyone to decide.
Chrome plating is also a good finish, but technically you can damage it or scratch off. ::smile::
