I have done the searches on the post and throughout the internet. I just want to know what is a good one that won't kill the pocket book. On ebay they have some from Westin (if it truly is i dunno), http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GRILLE-BRUSH-GUARD-ZL1-STYLE-98-05-TOYOTA-TACOMA_W0QQitemZ7998807590QQcategoryZ33645QQrdZ1QQ cmdZViewItem
or something from smittybuilt ...

all these range in prices quite a bit just tryin to find the best one, this is basically for looks and protection from parking lot dings. Do any of you guys have these types or others and what are your comments on them!?

your profile didn't say you had a Taco.
I've got a Go Rhino, all chrome, that is similar to the WAAG or smittybilt and it fits '96-02/03 that I yanked for fuel economy.
if it fits yours, half of whatever lowest price you find on net or stores, plus shipping.
I can email a pic on truck, on floor of garage, or boxed up.
=======
as far as experience, if you do buy, purchase one that has specific part number for your model of vehicle. the ones that fit many manufacturers and truck brands using a bracket or adapter kit, DON'T DO IT! for that price, buy a direct fit bolt-on, not fab, beat, weld, and swear with upheld hammer like Thor special.
prices range from $250-650+ depending on chrome, blacked, with light guards, with step rail and light mounts, etc.
find the one YOU want for price or looks. many parts houses have models on floor show, you can peruse, and find the brand that looks stout, then shop the internet for the pricing, as many web stores may offer free shipping, if amount is over X-amount of dollars.
the GoRhino! was very easy to put together and VERY stout, well chromed, and has the light bar integrated into the center for one or two pairs of off road lights. smittybilt is another excellent product.
hope this helps,
