WANT PICS: Aerosync (or similar) bumper w/ center "line" cut out?
Has anyone done this (thinking it might help facilitate more air to the IC)?
Pics? Here's my photoshop...
I'd be removing the plate for track days etc but I see no reason to **** off the cops in NYS the rest of the time...

It seems to me that the benifits would not out weight the bad side of this. You won't be gaining a whole lot more airflow (hardly any actually). Front bumpers like this are design to flow air as is. However if you take out the center bar, you're losing alot strength. I would be afriad of flex when driving at high speeds or if you bump it on the road.

Here's mine
These pics are before I removed the two black plastic pieces and before I installed the grill. Now everything looks "blacked out." Hope this helps.

IMO it looks better in, the hole just looks too gaping to me... In your pics it isn't as noticeable because of the license plate, but the above pics just aren't my thing.... No offense, just my personal opinion.

I agree to a certain extent. The Aerosync gets rid of the emblem and gives a seamless look for the lip. Yes I know you can mold all of that, but that would be a pita. I was torn between just cutting out the plate holder and reinforcing the middle bar, or just cutting everything out. I agree it looks bad without the grill installed, but now it looks nice and clean and flows well with the car. A much cleaner look if you ask me and it is a little different from everyone else. Just a matter of taste I guess.
