Just my humble opinion, but for some reason I'm not digging all the angular lines that these bumpers have. For me, the angularity disrupts the flow of the smooth lines and curves of the Tundra.
I'm sure they function well and its really cool that you can get them painted from the factory. I know some guys will be buying it cause they need a bumper that performs and works. For the more hard core wheelers, they probably don't care what it looks like as long as it works.
I'm not trying to take away from Road Armor or anyone who gets these bumper replacements. Its a baddass bumper. Like I said, just my humble opinion. Everyone's taste is different. Its good to see another manufacturer supporting our beloved Tundras and kudos to them and whoever else made it happen. Now we have 1 more alternative to the few brands out there.

Most importantly about the curves: In case of an impact of any kind it will get transfered into the brackets holding the bumper on like The ARB bumpers. Doing this will save the bumper and frame from crushing/bending/tweaking which is never good. So the stlying/bracketry serves a purpose to protect the front end in case of any impacts and damaging an individuals' truck. I pesonally love this bumper the most as for the reason it doesn't stick out too far forward and the bracketry for obvious reasons.
Road Armor keeps safety in mind unlike some to making a heavy duty bumper without a proper Bracket System to absorb impacts before transfering it down the frame rails and further buckleing the frame rendering your vehicle useless and totaling the vehicle. HD bumpers are anyones call. Everyone has a choice. I just wanted to state why I prefer ARB and Road Armor for their outstading bumpers.
