    100% agree on the color-matched flares and grille surround. Looks so much better IMO

    Whenever I first put the bar on the wind noise(Light bar whistle if you may)was terrrrrible! Like you had to crank up the radio full blast just to get rid of the noise...buuuut i fixed it with some simple weather stripping i bought at Lowes! Took all the whistle away!

    I just tried to cover up the slots, I am relocating my light bar a little higher and I'm going to do some cosmetic work where i put the stripping on...looks awful but works!
