    Your preference, either would work!

    Relentless Fab or MCM Fab both make good ones.

    I had a curved 50. Took it off because I didn't like the wind noise

    I put this Cali Raised 51.5" Curved 4D LED windshield light bar on my 2011 on Saturday, thanks @Jake Long15 for helping with some great pricing!

    I also had some horrible wind noise, but got rid of 90% of it with this mod.

    Used the two nutzerts and three rivets per side.

    I'm happy with the outcome.

    I tried the edge trim too. No luck for me. I tried a bunch of things over almost a year before I finally gave up. I got it to "tolerable", but then I removed it temporarily for something else and thought "holy shit! This is like a luxury car! I'm never going back!"

    Addicted desert designs for $35 ?
    Or Did you get a recognized name brand?
    I usually see just generic.
    I do see a @CaliRaisedLed bracket being sold on ebay for $100 but that's same price as caliraised website.
    I want a solid bracket. no vibration. Low profile (down over windshield. not above)
    And since I have no predrilled holes, I need door jam mounted.
