This might have already been asked and may get flack for this but doesn't adding a led bar in the lower bumper area interfere with the intercooler airflow on ecoboost Raptors? It does look good but is the only reason that's preventing me from installing one in there.
--I do have Baja Designs Squadrons Pro (behind grill) coming in instead and having it installed.
Yes. It does... To a point.
You want to be careful not to block off too much.
You can install a small bar or a few pods as long as there is ample room to allow air to flow around them. Remember air is fluid, (not liquid obviously) meaning it can bend and curve and flow around things. Tighter spots means more pressure, but if it can get around those areas and not be forced to the sides or OUT, then it equalizes behind the object and flows evenly across the cooler.
Moderation in all things... Thats the key.
Where some, even some shops lead people astray, is in doing too much. Like completely filling the space with XL or too many lights. Like many things there is a balance. If that is your goal, then you would need to compensate by doing something like cutting a hole in the lower skid plate and modifying a tunnel from there to that area from behind your lights. But that is way over kill. I would just stick to what is safe in there.
