    The keystone is cheaper than the matrix, with all the same possible add-ons such as receiver, hoop, etc. Although the addons do not yet have a set price, the keystone is listed at $300 and would look to be equivalent to the matrix basic setup that goes for $330.

    Yeah a basic is fine for $330 but no better then my cosmetic brush guard. To really get a functional one your looking at much more it seems?

    Not sure as to the strength of yours, but most cosmetic guards I've seen tend to break upon the first few impacts, especially the "Bull-bar" style I see on alot of street queens around Houston. Whereas the Keystone and Matrix are probably rated to take much more force. I admit that I accidentally rear ended an old Toyota truck a few years back and had to replace his entire OEM metal bumper. Lucky for me, not even the paint on the matrix was scratched!

    Well every accident is different so it could really depend on where you hit. Oh no I l know my cosmetic guard will crumble but I didnt buy it for anything but looks until I can afford a steel bumper. I just think the matrix is high priced for what you get.

    Nice looking ride. It's amazing how the 265/70's look bigger on the lighter colored XK's. I'm running the same size with the RC lift and they look smaller on my black XK.
