Custom bumper speed holes?

I missed the humor I guess.
Do you have any pictures of the "speed holes"?
I did a google search and could only find info about some Honda bumper holes but nothing on a Cadillac.
Are they on both the front and rear bumpers?
How many holes are we talking here?
What sizes are commonly used?
Do they add speed to the vehicle or do you need speed while making the holes?
Some pics would be great.

No pictures as this is a very delicate and time consuming process, each hole adds roughly twelve to 13 HP at the rear wheels. Another good option to getting this effect is too attach a type "R" badge to your car. Break out the rivet drill.

The last question?! Lmao do u need speed while making these holes?!?
I can answer that one!
1. Do some speed.(not familiar with this so do some research.)
2. Get a friend
3. Get a drill with a 3" hole saw bit.(tried all different sizes 3" is best)
4. While friend is driving at speed(i find 88 to be the optimal speed for this), you lay on the hood performing a reach around(that's the technical term) and drill 9 3" holes spaced approx. 6" apart in the front bumper.
When finished outline each hole with chrome pinstriping for more efficient air flow.
DONE!!

OP, the concept behind it is aerodynamics. They think that because there is drag from some air flowing under the car, that it goes into the bumper and basically becomes a pocket of air which drags the car and slows it up...
Truth of the matter is unless you are trapping 125+ IMO, its nothing where it'll affect you and if you really wanted to do it right, cutting holes in a bumper isn't really the correct way to go about it. Its just the quicker, cheaper, and uglier way. A belly pan would be a better alternative. I'd go with what was mentioned earlier... a splitter and diffuser would be the route i'd take.
