Unsolicited advice to follow: 
Don't do these.
First...this one is not a product that is for sale (a one-off for SEMA 2015...& not a Toyota retail product).
Second...many here call bars like these "damage multipliers" because they provide almost zero protection, and turn a minor traffic bump into a whole lot o damage. The whole unit is attached only by the two tow-points below and behind the bumper...and constructed from very leverage-challenged tubes.

My main reason is to protect from the occasional shopping cart, or zombie
You could probably head to your nearest fabrication/metal work shop with that photo and your vehicle. They'll have the stainless tubing and a bender. From there it's just getting the length and angles. That "TRD" bracket can be done on a waterjet with ease or a CNC with some cleaning after.
If you have to parallel park everyday one of these on the front and rear would come in handy. I see cars in NY and other cities with front and rear bumper guards, as people are probably tired of having plastic bumpers beat in by crummy drivers.
I also like the way it looks, wish it was available for the 200 . I know I'm in the minority.

I think it looks good. It may be a damage multiplier but what way bumpers are now- even minor damage to one side initiates a full replacement of stuff behind it anyway.
If you get in an accident that bad (I think) it would be an insurance event for most people.
