with light bar, or without?
Ok I just put on the new grill and headlights on my 01, I REALLY like it. I also sanded and repainted the light bar, there was some rust starting. The lights aren't hooked up though. Anywho, which do you prefer? I will get more pics tomorrow, from head on.

I think I agree with you all, without does look better. It matched the old grill/headlight combo VERY well, but with the new grill and headlights, I think the light bar is out of place.

Send a pic with the Ex in the bright sunlight. I think the light bar will look better in bright light. Without the light covers will look great too... but illegal. The more important question is which do you like better? - then go for it.

I agree that the lighting in the pics aren't doing the lightbar any favors, bet it looks better in good sunlight. As pictured the without is a cleaner look but with some chrome lights and better sunshine the bar may be a winner. The headlight/grille update looks great!
Getting everyone's opinions is cool and fun for sure but in the end it's your opinion that counts!

Couple more...I'm thinking I'm taking it off. Anyone want to buy a light bar with three KC lights on it? 
Looks GREAT with the stock front, it all goes so well together. Pics of what it used to look like below. I know, I'll throw it in the classifieds...
