    You can always make your own, I had a 20" in the lower valence that was attached to the aluminium crash bar. Two little pieces of angle iron and done stuff tapping screws held for over 2 years

    I don't sorry, got rid of the crash bar and light when I got the new bumper. You can get some angle iron and have someone mark it so you are centered height and width wise.

    If you dont want to spend $ on Caliraised (available on Amazon), you can get a cheaper bracket that is meant for having the bar through the bumper. Mount the brackets, then figure out where you want the bar to sit and drill new holes then cut off the excess.
    I have an Autofeel 32" bar using the included brackets bolted to the crash bar. Not recessed.

    If I decide to cut out the plastic piece to mount the light bar flush,how hard would it be to replace that plastic valance if I decide to sell the truck down the road?

    Once you cut the plastic out, its pretty much gone. I guess you could try to plastic weld it back, if you save it. But, I dont think its worth it. If thats a concern, do it right and buy the correct brackets to have the bar recessed. Every now and then, $ has to go away to get what you really want.

    I went ahead and bought the Cali raised Stealth mounts,I guess the $64 is a good investment in the long run.
