Default Installed new lightbar from AM

Ordered the light bar from american muscle on monday, they shipped very quickly and i managed to install is in about 2 hours or so. I must say i like it, and it wasnt the easiest thing ive ever installed but worth it. I would recomend having every single tool listed in the "needed for install" before starting, because unlike some installs, you really do need everything they list. Includes very detailed instructions and even templates to direct your drills and cuts. Highly recomended to you convertable guys out there. Anyways hers a few pics of it!

I love it! The light bar just completes the vert. Should have came from the factory with one.

You have to take off the 2 side peices that hold the speakers and drill holes for the brace to fit into. I was also worried about this at first....but the instructions were super clear and they send you a template, so you cut in the exact spot. i of course still cut smaller then the template said and trimmed it alittle as i needed just to be sure. Ide recomment another person be around to help on some parts, but mostly its a 1 person install took me about 2-3 hours.

I talked to someone at CDC when I ordered mine, as I had a couple of questions about the light bar, before I bought it. He said Ford had considered it as an option, but decided against it. Figured they would have too many law suits with the assumption "I thought it WAS a roll bar" or "It looks like a rollbar".
