Default 20" LED Light Bar Mount HELP!!

Hi all,
I'm buying a 20" E- Series Rigid Industries LED Light Bar and have run into a problem...Its an Ecoboost
Where the am I going to mount this thing. I want to keep the truck looking mostly stock because I feel these trucks are almost perfect as they sit and adding a billet grille doesn't look as good as the PTM 6 bar grille.
I will add a picture to give reference of the truck.
Please give me your ideas on what to do. TIA

A member on here, forgot who, mounted it in the lower bar in the grille. He cut out a section of the lower bar and mounted the lights flush. I for one thought it looked sleek.

That is what I'm thinking of doing. He did it with a 30" single bar and I am putting in a double row bar so hopefully it fits! I am going to get the dimensions of the bar and measure the grille.

I hope you don't have the Ecoboost. I would LOVE to put mine there but it will almost completely block the IC.

Haha, I wouldn't mind hiding it completely behind the OEM grille but I don't think there is enough room between the 6 bars...

So I ended up going with a 30" SR. Mounted it behind the grill and I couldn't be happier.
Here's a few pics of it as it sits now. I might change it once it gets warmer out.
I get about 85-90 percent of the beam, I've seen guys mounting them into the actual grille so I may try that in may or June.

That looks good great job. I installed mine In the lower bumper where the intercooler it didn't change anything. Here's a pic. Just made my own bracket.

You have an EB and you put that in there??
Did you run it during hot weather yet?
I don't want to put anything in the IC hole just because I know ford would blame that if I end up having problems.
