For the front, I like Bostig's "compact" version of the NFB bumper. They did a really nice job in the design of the panels, curves intersecting to make the bumper look strong but not clunky.

I'm not sold on a roo or brush bar up front. The way I see it, to make one that would really work it would look pretty darned big and imposing. Have a look at Phil Lander's roo bars:
