How much light did the tint cut out? Also I think a 40" curved on the front would have tied it in together a little nicer.

I just googled a pic of a truck with that light bar mount. Coincidence :-)

50" needs lower mounts and the 40" needs to go behind the grille and it will be perfect!

I've got a 40" Aurora coming in the next few weeks and will be mounting it behind my grill! The last thing I was is someone ripping off my new toy!!

Bastards will just rip your grille off.

40" behind the grille. Looks painfully out of place just hanging on the bumper. Not to mention as others have said, it'll disappear.

Started the truck and as sooon as I reached 30mph the windnoise was terrible. Read a few posts about adjusting the angle of the roof bar or putting some kind of insulaiton ont he lower fins but really not too sure about the overall look. Installed the flush mount rigids on the rear bumper as well and tinted those too, sorry no pics yet. Still on the fence about the whole setup, truck just looked cleaner without them. Feedback appreciated.
All the money and effort that went into it is awesome, but I'm not a big fan of roof light bars. LOVE LED and the output. A nice 12 or biggest you can fit behind the grille would look great. If you didn't require a front licence plate, a lightbar fills that area awesome! But not my ecoboost...
