We had the factory double tier brush guards on our H2's which were very useful in helping judge the front corners of the H2 when parking. For those of you who have the factory H3 brush guard, can you see the top corners of the guard from the seated position to help you know where the front corner of the hood is?

Both the H2 and H3's have sloping hoods so it's not easy to get into tight spots unless you really know where the nose is. The double tier brush guard on our H2's were great for this purpose. I was just wondering if the effect is the same for the H3's brush guard.

From my perspective I can not see them but I dont sit up on the steering wheel either. But I dont think you can really (reasonably positioned).

I'm a fairly tall guy, and I can't see the corners of the guard from the driver's side. You have to take your "best guess"...kind of like when you are backing up in a H3.

Kacy, the BG cannot be seen from the drivers seat. Even when you leen up as far as you can, the hood slopes more on the H3 than the H2.

the only thing you can do is go after ReelWheels Double BG. That may help.

How about little orange flags on the corners of the brush guard?

I am 5' 7" and can't see the far end of the brush guard but can see where it mounts to the frame. I have to stretch and sit up to see it but I do this all the time when parking.

I don't have the auto seats so maybe mine are higher.

Not sure.
