I've had it for just over a year. Fit is fine. Finish is still looking perfect. I mounted cheap hellas on it. I turned my stock bumper into a mid width at the same time and like the look. I'm not real geared up about getting a heavy bumper, so this combo will do for now. The bar itself is quite sturdy. I wouldn't go pushing a tree over with it, but it'll take decent hits without bending.
The install is easy. Just plan out your wiring first. One tip is to get some quick release clips (can't remember the real name) for your wiring. This is because to replace a headlight, the bar must come off. Being able to disconnect your lights right at the bar is a big help.

When I installed my Hellas, it said not to mount them upside down... Not sure why...What about yours ?

I think I paid $150 for the bar from Northridge and something like $50 for the hellas at Wally World. If you want to do it right, get better lights. The Hellas are kind of weak.
