Check out the difference between the two taillight guards before buying, I like steelcraft, but the things I like may be why you don''''t like''''em and for that you have Manik to turn to. this should help you out, I hope.
In the picture attached I have both guards side by side, on it I put things I noticed, such as one having heavier steel rods, one having six cross bars, the other four, yet is thicker so even with only four it still looks good. One has rounded corners to match the rounding from front to side, or back to side would probably be a better way to describe it, while the other has squared of corners. To me one just looks meatier, depending on if you want it for show or go might make one better, although I really think it would be more of a personal taste issue, I bought the Steelcraft used for $41.00 actually $56.00 after shipping, I don''''t know what it list for, I do know the Manik list for around $179.00 so even at half that I got a good deal on mine, and again I don''''t know why it went off so cheap, another for the same brand went off for 86 or 88 a day or two later, go figure, I''''m not complaining, although I will say this the seller charged $10.00 shipping and it cost him $15.00 so I will send him the extra $5 when I get in touch with him, so far he has not answered my request to bill me, but he will, he was hard to contact after the win (isn''''t it funny how they have us geared we buy something and call it a win... that''''s why I''''m so poor, cause I''''m such a winner on eBay, although driving a Hummer makes it hard to prove your case that your poor.

Maniks have the six bars in case you could not figure out which is which?

I only have the Steelcraft, lucky for me the guy was selling Steelcraft, until then I had only seen the version with two thin bars toward the center and the Steelcraft, I don''''t care for the Manik I like the idea of six bars, but I don''t care for the squared off back, and I think Steelcraft is a heavier tubing, it looks beefier

In the origional post when you pull up the picture, if it looks too big to see it all, click on the 100% icon in the lower right hand corner (on Internet explorer) and select 50% or less to see the entire picture, I put notation under the pictures to designate which guard is which. I don''''t know how to add a picture to the post

                                                                   Somewhere in this corner, you should see 100% change it to 50%
                                                                                      __________________________________________

                                                                                                                                                           \
                                                                                                                                                            \
                                                                                                                                                            \/
