Light bar on a BC

[voodoochylde]

I've got a '90 Legacy L with a cracked-out, homebrewed lightbar on the front that holds my two hella FF1000's. I bought some 1" square-tube steel and am planning on welding myself a nicer-looking bar.

Has anyone else here done this to a BC? Where did you tie into for the bottom mounts? There are some pieces of rather thick sheetmetal in the engine bay with holes already drilled that look like possible candidates but that'd require some rather funky bends and slitting my splash guards.

Any input is very appreciated.

my plan is to go through the gap in the middle of the bumper. I'm going to drill from the top of the bumper beam to there and then sandwich the top part of the beam with a c-shaped section. Then I'll mount the bar to that.

Sounds good but won't work for me. I'm trying to do this without permanently modifying the car. I'm hoping to get a Sport Sedan next summer and when I sell my L, I don't want it to be more hacked up than it already is.

well, the nice part is that you just drill a few holes in the beam down from behind the grill and don't cut up the bumper cover.

Actually I think I found a good mounting point last night. I haven't got an A/C condenser anymore so the part of the support underneath that looks like a decent option. Pull the grill, unbolt the radiator supports, drill, done. I hope...

I'm already tying the top into the bolts on top of the bumper beam. That's how my current ghetto-bar is installed and it works well.
