Engine guard. I found that the black ones are rarer than hens teeth. I have a brand new one (Vietnam), never installed. I found a used pair, in black, while waiting for the arrival of the Vietnam guard. I had to have them powder coated. The acquisition price ($225) plus powder coating ($150) made the total invested, $375, a bit absurd. I should have just installed the chrome one from Vietnam. It took about 5-6 weeks to get it from Vietnam. It is for sale. I am in Osprey, Fl. Gary gbg1...@gmail.com
