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!

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...
