Default Light bar

Alright, so i started makin a light bar for the front of my truck to hold 3 7in lights. Any suggestions what else should i add to it. Looks a little plain, but i dont want it to look too redneck. What do you guys think?

Hey quick question, I'm thinking about getting a billet grill for my truck, but how do you still open the hood without being able to reach the lever behind the grill?

I bent the hood latch so it was closer to the grill and enough to get my fingers too it. If not some people use a string and pull on that. Also if you get a billet grille, the bottom pegs for the grille, you have to screw in, it doesnt sit in the stock slots ( atleast mine was like that)
