Default Working on a light bar

Working on a light bar for my 15 sport.
Not much available yet, and I like it to be a little different to what everyone else has.
Not sure what to think, have to look at it for a few days to decide if its what I want. The front pic is deceiving, it is straight
Thinking Hella Xenons like these

You will laugh when you hear what it started out as, a back bumper for an Arctic Cat ATV...
http://store.arcticcat.com/product/4.../_/Rear_Bumperwas a little tricky to figure out the mounting, ran across frame horns with steel cross brace, then a cross brace on the frame. rmaned the Arctic cat mounts, and viola.....still trying to decide if I like or not, but it is different then anyone elses...lol

The look is good-do you have vibration issues at highway speeds? It looks like it is only attached in the middle under(?) the air dam. Make me wonder if it vibrates.

has two mounts go through the bumper opening that are bolted into a steel cross brace going across the frame horns, that I added, then it goes under the bumper through the spoiler lip, and is bolted back to a steel cross brace side to side on frame where a front hitch or winch plate would bolt in, again, which I added.
Nice and solid, I can jump on it and no movement, not meant to be a bull bar but probably as strong as most of them.
While doing the lower mount it was pulled back under some pretty good tension with a come along to the skid plate.and no touchie the bumper paint,

Went outside and got a few better picks of the mounting
top mount is a keeper, I will probably beef up the lower mount, it was just a " I'm bored today project "
