It doesn't actually have a stubby form. I know, it sure looks like it should, but those side pieces contain half of the fog light holes. I've looked at the pictures of all the pieces not put together, and they would have to come up with separate stubby side pieces for that. It's not convertible like the Jeep OEM one
Bumper is available now - I believe called venator - price I have seen is $799 - couple of the sponsors to this site have it listed.

Yeah, it was JUST released on November 1st. That's why there's no other photos online besides their original promos yet. I've been waiting to see someone take the plunge before I jump in. I was planning on getting this for my JT when it arrives in a couple weeks. I still think the full width looks amazing (and is cheaper than an OEM steel bumper + winch plate), I just hate how close these SEMA photos show it to the tires.

That, and I think it looks best in their promo pics, with the side flares lining up with the bottom of the fenders. The giant gap on this between fender and bumper flares looks fugly, IMO

Chopped fenders here. I don't know how sturdy the wings are in reality. But I do like it

I consulted for OMIX-ADA, aka "Rugged Ridge" once upon a time. May look tempting but it's all made in China.

While I appreciate the design intent of the snorkel, I can’t help to wonder about air flow and ability to maintain a seal with multiple pieces, hose clamps and vibrations.
