    Adding a light bar into the lower grill opening. The current license plate location is right in the middle. Because I must have a front plate I'm thinking of lowering or raising.

    I appreciate the opinions:

    raise up

    OR, keep at middle of lower grill and install two smaller 9" light bars vs. a 27"

    After looking at the pics I just took and posted...lowering is the way to go.
    Thanks for the link!...end of thread, lock it down guys...

    Also, is that a 30" double row light bar behind your lower grill?

    If you go higher you can just use the holes that are already in the bumper. Just secure it from the bottom.

    I believe that's a 32"...
    Measure for yourself cause I think...if I remember right...i have a few inches I would have liked to put in a 34" led bar.
    Been a while though so I'm not 100%

    Just noticed you have different bumper too so definitely measure.

    Ah...good point ChemDawg. Just noticed the difference. I can fit "28 inches of light" behind the lower grill on a 2014 Sport. The actual opening is 30" including the curvature at the two sides.

    I'm hitting the specs hard for the lights I'm looking at adding. I'll make sure it can fit.

    Thanks for input.
