2018 F150 STX light bar behind grill?
My buddy just bought a 2018 STX F-150 and he wants me to install a light bar behind the grill. He bought I believe a 23 inch light bar to put behind the grill.
My question is has this been done yet for the 2018 model year? I believe the grills are different between 2017 and 2018? From what I have read/watched this might be a bit of a challenge since there may be the active grill shutters on his STX model? If the grill shutters are there, then I’m guessing there wouldn’t be much room at all to install the light bar and keep the grill shutters working properly?
Also if this can be done, does anyone know of any brackets that a company makes for this purpose?
Thanks

I have read that some people are concerned about blocking airflow, but hell the front license plate bracket takes up a lot of room.
