Not a bad point Suspect, I have thought thru sevreal options about emergency lighting, and even the NFPA still states that a rotating halogen light has the best warning ability. So I am going to mount the bar and run with it for a while, if it becomes problematic, then I will sell it and do what mmUTK did and buy a 6 outlet pwr supply and put strobes at all 4 corners and something in the front and rear glass. I also have stared at that picture all day today, after what you guys have said and found that if I forget about putting the gear basket back in and move the bar forward, I think that would remove some of the akwardness...but the roof rack does kill the look
