Default Pics requested - jazzing up stock front bumper?

I don't mind the stock front bumper and do not need a winch and I like the look of the stock fogs.

I've seen some guys who have mounted lights on the front bumper -

Looking for ideas (lights / bars / other) to dress up the front bumper of my Rubicon 4 dr.

Show us your pics!!!

I have decided to hold off on changing out my front bumper until there are more choices available. I am going to install PIAA 520's on my stock bumper, and I'm considering mounting them to the Pro Comp light bar in the attached picture.

Will 35's clear the stock bumper? If not, can the bumper be spaced away from the grill? Has anyone done it?

I haven't been able to find anyone selling the Pro Comp light bar. I can't even find it on their site. I'd like to know how it's installed. By the angle in the photogragh it looks like it hooks up near the tow hooks.

I think u need a lift to go to 35s.
32s might fly.
also u need spacers or new wheels with 35's as they will rub if left on stock wheels.
