EcoBoost front bumper suggestions?
Hi all,
Self proclaimed noob. I've always owned cars, Mustangs ect, into mods, but I just bought my first truck. 13' FX4 EB. I can't leave anything stock, but I decided I'm going to try to hold off on engine/performance mods until my warranty is up.
First big mod I want to tackle is the front bumper. I want something I can mount a winch and a 40" LED light bar in, but something that protects while not limiting air flow to the intercooler.
ADD has a few that are EB specific, but non offer a winch option. Assuming this is due to the extra space taken up by the intercooler.

The [URL="http://addictivedesertdesigns.com/shop/f-150-ecoboost-stealth-front-bumper/[/URL] isn't too bad.
I haven't really come across any other EB specific bumpers, but that's not to say that others wouldn't be functionally equivalent.
Input?
Like I said, I'm new to the truck scene, so any help/suggestions/input is all appreciated!

The ADD bumpers are the best looking I've seen imo. The guy I talked to there said it actually ran about 5 degrees cooler with their bumper, but with no winch option I guess you're out of luck there. Check out www.full-race.com. They have an aftermarket inter cooler option that moves it up behind the grill. Makes more power and runs cooler. Then you could run whatever bumper you desired.
