Thoughts on putting a light bar in the lower grille area?

I love the way the bar is situated in this picture and I was thinking of putting a Diode Dynamics bar with a full flood pattern down there the same as shown. I was just wondering if this would block any important intakes or cause any issues with cooling? I've been told the intake for the turbo pulls directly from down there so I hope putting a bar there as pictured wouldn't block the flow of air to the point that it would hinder my engine's performance.

The bar pictured is an SS30". I could always go with the SS18" instead, but if I can fit the 30 there with no problems, then why not.

For a Flood bar, even being situated so low, I imagine it would still work great for up close "area" lighting. Does everyone agree with that sentiment?

If you do install a light bar, please don't drive on city streets with them. Not only does it look stupid, but its usually blinding drivers. So many people driving with light bars that essentially would be better off driving with their brights on.
