Nay. To me asthetically it looks unproportional. Maybe if you photoshopped them into the holes in the bumper below the ram air?

Wow, I didnt get this much response for GOOD mods! thanks for the input guys, I do see what your saying about the thickness. Though we all know the "ram air" is more or less bogus with the cars, I see what you mean appearance wise. I will attempt to thin them out, and then I will try some different torq screws that are smaller, and actually seat into the aluminum, making them flush. I am confident that this could look good, and will go back to the drawing board. Thanks for the critisism.

Sounds good.

You think outside the box and more importantly you are open-minded. No wonder your car looks so good.

That idea sounds like it could turn out nice. To me, the outer piece right now is a little to big.

Yes this could look good after reading your last comment and to stay in line with my previous comment it would look more professional

I say they are definately different. its not bad, its just not right yet. i would make the openings a little bigger, and get some countersink screws (preferably chrome) to replace the black allen screws. certainly nothing wrong with trying something new though.
