Default Ecoboost Rigid Light Bar

I want to mount a rigid light bar on my ecoboost but I dont know where would look the best. Does anyone have any creative ideas? Will it work in the bumper opening or will it effect the air flow to the intercooler too much?

With the stock IC it would block too much air. Full-Race is going to make a nice all aluminum IC and also moves it up in front of the radiator so a person could use a hidden winch, front reciever, or a rigid light bar. I haven't seen a price yet but I would assume it's pricey but top notch.

If you want more of a hidden look, install a full billet or diamond wire grill and mount the light behind there.

Here is mine in the 5.0 I just sold ecoboost coming its a 10 inch. I dont think it would restrict too much. Its low to so it doesnt take up the whole middle where it is.

Rigid is also making a custom grille with built in duallys and 6" light bars (I think). Go to their website and check the 2013 catalog.

I like the cabover but I think it is too aggressive for a daily driver. This is the Rigid grill which I also thinks looks a little too aggressive.

I made a bracket to mount my 20" just above the bumper behind the grill. I had to cut a bit out of the rigid bracket to operate the hood latch lever but everything works great and the grill doesn't block any of the light.
