Looking for a "discrete" Prado-like bolt-on front bumper for the GX... I like the Duello, but I like the FJ 120 bumpers more, and have not been able to find domestic US suppliers... Suggestions? Is this a custom build?

This is a Prado 120 ARB bullbar on an '05 GX470. Is this what you're talking about? This was ordered through Cruiser Outfitters and installed by them in their shop. @cruiseroutfit
Edit: just noticed your wording "discrete". haha. Prob not something like this then!
Agree with @maa45069 - post a pic of something along the lines of what you are thinking.

Looks like a great option... The Prado is not an exact fit with the quarter panels, would require some grinding/cutting... Thanks for the info... I'll post when I get there...
Def nothing discreet about that beautiful thing haha

Thanks for your input slowhogg & maa. I have an '07 GX470 that my wife uses as a daily because she likes it (along with a '71 FJ40 just for MY fun)... This Prado bumper is kinda what I had in mind.... If I could find this and add a winch, I'd be a happy camper (as would the wife...). if I can't find something close, I'll probably go with the Duello, but with lights and a winch that hits in the $2700 range, so not cheap...
Metal tech has a Goblin bumper for Gx470:

This one does look a bit more discrete. 
I would think that you could fit it up to the GX just like the other Prado bars like the ARB, Ironman, etc, but I would expect that you would need to do similar trimming on the GX (and/or on the bumper itself a bit). You can see for sure it fits up similarly into the fender and fender guard so you would def be trimming that area. And most likely a bit underneath and behind. Who makes it? Lynx? I've never heard of them... For some reason it makes me think its an Alibaba type bumper. Have you checked on there?

I saw a cougar run across the trail right in front of me mountain biking alone one night at 10:00PM - in the top left corner of this pic. Code brown
Dissent Offroad's is on the more discrete side "metal bumper on a Lexus."

A big thanks to Tim from gamiviti @nakman making this happen! He wanted bumpers for his gx470 so he bought me one for r&d. I picked up a clean 1 owner trade in with service records yesterday and will have it for about six months for r&d. Hoping to get front rear bumpers, sliders , skid plates...

I still get compliments on my Dissent Offroad bumper... and am still quite happy with it, a year later. Couple posers from this past week here...
That’s the one I ordered and in aluminum so lighter which might help check your “discrete” box.
I think this is a good option for you. I would have something similar built but would like thicker material.

This is my favorite GX 470 bumper Ive seen yet! I was considering the Metal Tech Raven hybrid, but I am liking the clean look of this one a lot better. Do you happen to know how much it weighs? I know they do all custom orders, but if you dont mind me asking, what was the ballpark price range for this bumper? Thanks!
