Bough the fill-in plugs for the holes from g-wagenaccessories . I think I prefer it without the Brush Bar, but it's easy enough to take on and off if I change my mind. Polar white.

Thanks for sharing - I actually really like it without the brush bar with your color combination. Luckily it's easy to take on and off and you can switch it up if you want.
Sharp asf. I'm out in the country all the time and the last thing I need is a brush bar. Its far better to avoid brush all together because of pinstripes all the way down the sides, let alone the grill sides. That and the body lines look much better w/out the bar in front.
Man, that is STUNNING. I just ordered my 550 (won't deliver until May), but had been thinking of removing the brush bar. Thanks for showing that it's possible and looks SHARP.

Super easy!! If you zoom in on my picture you'll see the removable plastic pieces on the ground, they pull outwards from the top of those pieces, the red plastic tool on the ground you see helps without damage to the plastic, they pop right out. Then you can see two large bolts on each side, slowly loosen them, don't worry, the brush guard won't drop or slip downwards, its brilliantly designed and sits on a little ledge to prevent that. I did however hang microfiber towels on the top of the brush guard in case it leans backwards against the front of the G. Also note....it is kinda heavy when pulling it upwards out of the bumper. Reinstall the bolts in their holes after you remove the brush guard. Pop in your plastic grill inserts and install the bumper plugs.
