What would be the consequences/benefits of cutting out this part of the front:

You will have opened up another air hole. On the driver side, looks like it will be close to the air intake. I don't see any downside other than the cutting itself. The air dam underneath directs air up into the radiator, I wouldn't think this would counteract the physics of the thing.

Yours looks honeycomb, mine is a flat piece of plastic. I never knew it had that, but now that I noticed it, I want to find some factory fogs for them.

well.. thats just the first picture i found of a formula type bumper, my car is the green one in the sig. i'd rather have some form of ram air then fogs

I like light :\ lol Plus, they look nice with fogs. You can always tap into somewhere else via ducting.

Cutting it will allow more air into the bumper. It will be a hair better since the filter is in the bumper. Same thing if I took out my fog lights, but I like my fogs.

so it wouldnt exactly be anything major but it would make a difference. what about the weather, would it cause a problem there?

I remember asking the same question here a while back, Someone said that you really wouldn't get any gains at all and it could actually kind of mess with your aerodynamics.

Think if you have holes in there and your driving on the highway, air is constantly going through the holes creating drag all the time, but if there left blocked up then those pockets actually "fill up" with air, so more air molecules cant fit in creating a solid.

I dont know, that could be complete BS, but I really dont think you would see any gain, but if you want go for it.

Like anywhere you want with long enough ducting. Take your pick as to where you want to scoop up the air from.

are there any other "safe" ram air ideas that could be used other than buying a ram air hood and other than ducting air in from another spot?

When I had a K&N Filtercharger on mine, I removed it. On the driver's side, it sends air into the fenderwell, which is where the Filtercharger was located.
I never had any problems except once. I drove through a downpour, and it sucked water into the filter. The car stumbled, but did not die.
I then put screws in it and put the part back on when I was not intending to go racing.

formula 350..I have a set of stock camaro fog lights with brackets if you think they would work..just let me know..I know the stockers are ridiculously expensive if you find them for camaros

you won't see any gain, because the air is sucked in from all directions of the engine bay that you can't even imagine. it's a good thought, but it would be a wasted effort, unless you fab up something extremely beautiful and present it at carshows and what-not. however, you won't see any gains at all.

If you had two small Procharger intercoolers right behind the openings, it might work.

I don't want to bother with trying to put Camaro stuff on, 3pnt. But thanks for the offer
