I am very interested in seeing your light mounts before/during/after paint, and installed. Just picked up a set of a-pillar mounts and I'm on the fence as far as paint matching them or leaving them black.

I just ordered two cans if billet paint from qtec I will post plenty of pics so u can see how well it matches, if it's off ill just sand it down and paint it black again but I'm hoping it comes close to stock paint color

Turns out after a few highway runs at 60mph plus and with a soft top the wind noise is crazy if you have a hard top it's no problem but with the soft top it's way to loud so sadly since I only run a soft top I'll be selling this 50"bar and going with the 20" hood mounted light bar

is it wind noise between the top and the bar?

It's either that or it's just going up the hood and hitting the flat face of the LEDs and that causes enough wind resistance to create a noise and it's not the whistle that most complain about

Honestly I feel like a big ass 50 inch light bar is overkill for a lot of applications anyways.

It def is but for 350$ with mounts you can't go wrong for that price , I was originally going for the hood mounted 20" which is what I'm switching to now

Those mounts are fine just the wind noise was to much for me so sold it and going with the 30" hood mounted led bar

30" led bar with kc hood mounts on the way hopefully the wind noise won't be an issue with it mounted on the hood
