I thought you guys might like to see this. Its a subtle (at least I think so) way to add a little bit more aggression to the look of the factory front bumper... it might look out of place on an otherwise stock car, but with some body mods I feel it compliments my car much better. It think it looks better in person then in the pics... but I think you will get the idea...

Let me know if you like it or hate it. I am curious how others will feel about it.

I like it, how much it cost ya to get that done?

 

I like it.

 

thanks guys...

it didnt cost anything because i asked my friend to do it before he painted my car... he said it took him almost no time, he just cut it out with a blade and then used something to smooth and round the edges, and that was it... after the car was painted he put in some mesh he had sittting around.

of course, it took no time cause the car was all apart anyway. to do it yourself starting with a car that is in 1 piece would probably be a saturday project... but i am not sure how it will look around the cut edges if you dont repaint???

 

Looks good. Have you looked into using this with it? Runs around $50 for each side. Has provisions to prevent water coming in, and a rain cover.

 

that looks like it might be much too big... looks like its around 3" wide or so.

I will build something for it depending on what I do. I dont need them for brake ducts since I am puting brake ducts somewhere else on the bumper soon... just waiting to find that perfect duct or I will have to make that too.

 

that would work great with my AEM CAI...since the filter is right there.

 

i dig it.

 

Cool idea.

 

I like that.

 

Looks good...you using it as brake duct or what?

 

I think its pretty smart for brake ducts. Good location.

 

thanks guys, i like them. i dont use them for brake ducts, but thats very possible. I use one for my power steering cooling right now.

you hardly notice them, but they are a nice detail if your looking.

 

Good idea and looks great too!


(oops, just realized that this is an old thread )

 

phunk - did you repaint your entire car? doesn't look black anymore... i like it a lot.

 

hell ya that looks awsome!! I wanted to do that to my 06, just remove the reflectors and replace it with mesh. anyways, once again, looks great!!

 

nice prodrives

edit...actually...i think i was wrong. g games?

 

that's sweet!! i may have to borrow that idea.

 

Cool idea...mine is a little more aggressive...

 

Thats a good idea! I might have the body shop guy do that before painting my bumper next week. I'll just get somegrills for them similar to the ones seibon used on the hood and I could run brake ducts!
