Default Bumper mod idea for turn downs
I might do this to my car now that I have TSP True Duals....what's your opinion?

(sorry for the poor photoshop)

A good thought, but it's too boxy and doesn't match any of the flowing lines of the car.....that is why it doesn't look as good. Just my $.02

I love my turndowns, although I do not like that there are empty holes out back. I don't however think that looks good though

Don't like it. Also gives you even more area to catch air.....maybe drill some holes like the imports do and you'll have something!!

Maybe not so boxed. More like the 95 rear bumbers. Theydon't seem to have as big of an opening.

The only good use I could see would be locations for diffusers if you put an undertray on your car

sorry the pic is huge, but I just linked to it.....

Default vent
i think the vent would look good but make the top on long and have them get shorter as they go down
