Default Light bar in front of intercooler?

What's the consensus on installing a light bar in the center gap on an ecoboost?


Will the air flow be so restricted that it will cause heating problems?

I would do it, just remove the shields. It would be done on my truck if I could afford it.

1. it can be done
2. it has been done
3. no issues that i've read about with condensor overheating
4. my dealer will NOT honor any warranty claims if I install one, your dealer might be different.

Any warrantee issues, I can simply remove the bar before a trip to the dealer.


My question is related to avoiding issues entirely. I just wanted to hear firsthand from anyone that has an ecoboost with a 20" bar installed in front, and if there has been any issues.


I plan on installing one in the very near future.
