Get the curved BD light and put it right in front of the grille on a custom bumper. Mine sits very close and the curve follows the contour of the truck perfectly.

I love my BD S8 light bar behind the grille. Plenty of light gets through. Also have A pillar lights, but honestly, if you like the look and setup of a behind the grille light, I would say don’t worry about the small reduction in light output. I have a Gen 2 and the reduction seems pretty minor. If you have a Gen 1, maybe that’s different and cutting or another mounting method makes sense.

All, I can't thank you enough for your responses and pictures. Thank you! I read this forum every day and this is why. Your trucks rock hard. TXRaptor, just read your whole build thread. Very cool. CigarPundit, I still have the Gen 1 (2014) because I'm old school and like the sound of a V8 even though I know the EB is a better performing motor. It's not logical. I keep praying for another V8 Raptor before the world turns all electric or hydrogen or whatever. Big thanks to Big Blue, RodGod87, and Loufish (hope I didn't miss anyone as I cant see page 1 as I'm typing this response) for the pics of grills that have been cut. I think I'm going to try a 40" bent light like TX Raptor's but mounted behind the the lower portion of the upper (radiator) grill. I'm not sure if I can push it through the grill at that location, but if I try cutting the grill in any way I'll post pics so others can learn from my mistakes. Thanks again everyone.
