Do you mean brush bars? No, but have been thinking about it, as one reason I got the Rover was that my husband ran into a deer while we were travelling on the highway at about 65 mph. He was driving a Saab, which is made in Sweden, which requires cars to be able to complete a moose-avoiding manouver. Saab also moose-tests their cars, that is, crash tests them against something made to resemble a moose.

We were in the middle lane of a six-lane highway, and the deer jumped from the median and avoided the cars on the left, so he didn't see it. Luckily he didn't hit it headon, she just glanced off the side, but the impact cracked the windshield, and shattered the windows on the driver's side and smashed both doors on the driver's side. I was sitting in the back and we both got broken glass all over us. Scared the bejeezus out of me.

After that, no more little cars for me. Brush bars would probably protect the front. There are a lot of deer around here, something like 1000 car-deer accidents every year, some fatalities.
