Light bar for stock bumper

I was looking for something to fill in the body gap caused by the 1" body lift. I thought about a light bar, but they were all so wide that even if I put them against the body, they stuck out past the stock bumper. Then I found this 30" "slim line" version.
It fits nicely between the front of the bumper and the grill. I'll fabricate 2 brackets to mount at the bumper bolts so I won't have to drill into the bumper. It's not a "light up the sky" bar, and it only comes in 20" or 30" instead of a 50" I would need to fill the whole gap, but fills most of the gap nicely.

Personally, I think it looks better by NOT filling in the entire width of the grill.

Looks like it was 'meant' to be mounted there - first pic looks very good, as it is centered.

The light bar gets your attention, not the remaining 1" gap on either side.

What brand is that light bar? I am currently looking at lightbars on 4wheelonline. Would love to buy something similar to yours.

Have used the put it in your cart and wait a few days with typically good results. Twice even got the email a day later about 10% off for next day only. Some how failed to respond and felt bad only to get an additional 5% the following. Truth be known it had to have been 25% over priced but marketing guys are keen to make a guy feel like he got a bargain. Plus I was going to buy at original price anyway, just got side tracked
