Someone on one of the Facebook pages went and posted a picture of this brush guard for a Canyon. I imagine it would work on a Colorado too, but not positive. I really like the look of it. Looks like Ranch Hand style grille without the steel bumper. I like the idea of a steel bumper, but I like the looks of my stock bumper too. Also, I have a friend who works as an insurance adjuster doing vehicle claims and he said that if you run into something soft like a deer, a steel bumper is great. But if you run into something like another car, it’s not so much. Since all the crash test stuff is done on vehicles that are made to crumple like a can when they crash to absorb shock and save you, rather than save the vehicle. Which is why I have looked pretty hard at this brush guard.
I did hear from one guy that said brush guards don’t do much good when you hit something like a deer. They just cause more damage because they don’t hold up and smash they stuff they were supposed to protect. He said that this is especially true in low-speed collisions? What do you guys think though, is this true?
Also, if you also like this bumper, I believe the guy called the company (Orig Equipment) and while they do not advertise this bumper on the website, they do sell them for the Canyons (and Colorados maybe?) and they sell for around $585.
