Default Truck-type Grill Guard: Where to get it? Anyone have it?

Anyone have a truck or SUV style "grill guard", the big thick bars that protect the front and rear bumpers from getting damaged? I want this on my xB...there's been too many people hitting my car in parking lots and thankfully not damaging anything yet, and it's time to up the level of protection so the next time some numbnutz in a volvo hits my bumper, they'll do damage to just their ride.

Anyone have these bull bars on the box? Where did you get it and are there any manufacturers making it for our cars?

Thanks, Al

search for it on here. There's a dude who had one for sale a while back. I believe he made it himself. It looked pretty cool on his xB.

Thanks guys! I can't find any online vendors who sell it. Might have to be fabricated one off for the box...I'm taking it to the local truck parts shop to see what they can do this weekend. I'll post picks if it's a success.

There's also this one... pretty tragic IMO, but to each their own.

Something like that will only cause more damage plus you'd have to look at it all the time. You could get some of those stick on bodyside moldings and use them front and rear as a cushion for those that park by sound. Or mount some of those pointed bullet licence plate things. That would F up whoever hits your bumper.
Another idea I had was to hang those boat bumper tube things. One on each side of what ever bumper is toward the approaching vehicle. You could use string and a magnet. Or just don't let it out of your sight like I do. Good luck. People in general are A holes when it comes to other peoples cars.
