OP if you were really wanting it for any protection then save your money, there thin and wont protect much at all
Thanks for the concern but that's not it. I like the looks and the potential for adding lights as time goes on. Guess I'm a poser after all.

Some with and without the license plate/light.

Bull Bars are not just for looks and light mounting. I ran my 2010 f150 off in a drainage canal last month, went in head first and the bull bar saved me. I have the Westin Ultimate Bull bar with dual kc's and it didnt even bend when smushed between my truck and clay dirt. My truck didnt receive a scratch. Is it worth it, YES!!!!!!!!

I'd go with a chrome aries bull bar in your case. I just ordered a black aries bull bar with the aluminum skid plate. From what ive heard, aries are equal with westin for much less money. Im in Texas too and they do make a license plate relocation bracket

I said the Westin earlier but honestly you'll be happy with any of them and I think the pattern in the skid plate of the Aries matches the blocky style of the new f150s while the Westin matches the curvy 04-08 better.

Those side moldings, hood, wheels and interior is a package that they call Tuscany. very very over priced. I one I saw at the dealer was asking almost 60k. Yikes. Give me a raptor for that much!!
