    Won't fit a Honda

    It won't fit two 10" as designed but I can think on it. You could definitely run a pod off each one, I will double check that this week for you.

    I am also going to look heavily into a good plate relocation idea. May not be perfect for all states as some want it center... But I feel like cops will leave you a lone if there is something visible up front. More to come!

    $100 powder coated and free shipping in the US. Combo price that includes a 32" LED bar, duel row spot/flood combo and wire harness from Cali Raised LED (TW vendor with great reviews) will be $295 all with free shipping in the US. That's 15% off the LED bar for buying the combo.

    My laser cutter just finished cutting my first batch of my final design and will be mailing the pieces to me Monday. Hoping to have all welded and ready for powder by Friday. I'll keep you guys posted as I get stuff. Sorry for the late reply. I was out of town for the long holiday.

    Thanks everyone!!!

    Thats a hell of a deal. When you have everything ready let me know. Does it mount to factory bolts or will drilling need to be done?

    For those who need/want to keep front plate:
    I have a 30" bar behind my grillcraft grill on my 2012. It is still very bright and effective.

    Bolts to factory hardware, no drilling required. The only modification you have to do is cut out the lower grill if you decide you want the Flush style. If you want to leave everything, the Stealth requires no modification to you vehicle!

    Do you have to remove the bumper and grill to install these? I'm mechanically challenged.

    I am very interested in purchasing the "Stealth' style. How much for the combo? Also, just like STBEAR asked, will you need to remove the bumper for install?

    I moved my license plate up on the bumper. It's visible and meets requirements in California. A lower cost option, Rigid mounts are $82, is a good thing. Also the stealth design would allow you to keep the lower bumper in 1 piece. I had to do some cutting to get my bar to fit.

    Having the light behind the grill would also reduce the probability of theft.

    You do NOT have to remove the bumper. They slide in with everything in place. Just remove the 3 bumper nuts on each side, slide the mount in, bolt the LED to the mount, then tighten the nuts. The wiring harness that Cali Raised sells with their bar is easy too. Comes with everything you need. Bolts to your battery terminals, cut the lead to the LED to length and connect the wires to the LED bar. Last you run the switch into the cab throught the wire boot in the firewall and then your done.

    See above for install. Combo price that includes a 32" LED bar, duel row spot/flood combo and wire harness from Cali Raised LED (TW vendor with great reviews) and my mounts will be $295 all with free shipping in the US. That's 15% off the LED bar for buying the combo. My mounts will come powder coated black and ready to bolt on.

    This is a great and easy solution for the 12+ guys!!! I am working a design for the 05-11 that is basically the same thing, a small bracket that moves the plate up above the lower grill.

    I don't have any personal experience with the Rigid mounts but I have heard from customers they vibrate a little bit. That is why I went for a thicker material and it is welded with a gusset to stop the side to side and up and down vibrations. Mine is $18 more, but mine also includes free shipping so I would guess that it's about the same price out the door. At the end of the day I am a small one man operation and I have to pay a laser cutter to do my cutting, I don't own the equipment at this time. So after it is all said and done I probably make less profit per bar, but that is ok and I am happy to make them!

    The Rigid mounts are 1/8" are sturdy. I was doing about 60mph on some of the washes at Ocotillo Wells. They were definately not flat. I didn't see any vibrations.
    I think you still have a great option, even if they are more. I suspect that you can shorten the length to make the light placement better. The Rigid ones put the light right at the edge of the opening in the grill.

    Glad it's working great for you! Ha the stealth one puts it a few inches back and is slotted in two places so you adjust both up/down and in/out. Thanks again for sharing the plate pic!!!

    Subd. Interested in 8 or 10s on either side of plate. Can be in exterior so no cutting. Prefer that to in behind. Anyone seen brackets that extend outside lower grill. Don't care if lights protrude out front a bit. Just not interested in cutting the lower grill. Unless I can source a spare to get play with.

    I think to fit two 10" lights the bracket would have to span between the existing brackets and have two arms that could hold the two lights.
