Help me choose a light bar

Hey all
OK looking to add a light bar to the truck. I'm not looking for a bull bar so would appreciate opinions on which light bar would look best on my truck. Granted I know two of the n-fabs are drill in...and I'm ok with that.

Here are the 3 I'm looking at:

N-fab pre-runner:

Pictures of your truck would help us help you decide, but without knowing what your truck looks like I'm going to say the n-fab prerunner light bar.

Thanks all. I would love tow mirrors but it's a SCREW. Without cutting/chopping I don't think I can get tow mirrors on there.

Yeah I'm torn on which light bar to go with...lol

Social, What year's your crew F150. We have Tow mirrors for 97-03 F150s, they don't fit the 01-03 crews, but should fit all of the other years.

We carry the 08 style mirrors for them, awesome looking mirror.

Hi Tony-
It's an '03 Screw.

The 08 style mirrors fit the '03 SCrews? Or did I misunderstand what you said?

Thanks

Gonna have to say go with the pre-runner. It at least provides a little bit of protection for the lights. Second pop the center caps from the rockstars. They don't look half bad with the big shiny star removed. That's just my opinion. That wheel and tire combo is pretty played out where I live.

I gotta SCab that looks pretty much the same. 'Course better looking wheel and tire combo, only a 4" lift and no body lift.

Yeah I've seen it with the star removed...didn't like the looks. There are a bunch of trucks here in So*Cal have the rockstars but still look good to me. Plus not often I see 2003 6+3's in my area

Post a pic of your scab

I like the 2nd N-Fab as well but from what I understand you have to drill through the front of the bumper to mount?

Yeah I'm really leaning towards N-fab pre-runner (I'm assuming that's what you were referring too as the first two pics are both N-fab).

And yes you need to drill holes in the bumper for both however, I'm OK with this.

Thanks for the input.
