What do you guys think this would look like if a good job was done?

Why are there a bunch of 12 year olds, that are smoking (could possibly be bubble gum cigars), standing around that car?

I think it would look weird with the foglights filled in. IDK


And sorry I don't think anyone there's 12. Last time I checked everyone in that pic including me is 18-21. Sorry we don't look old enough for you. Oh and were standing around it because my U joint broke.

Who cares what the people in the pic look like, i dont think he asked for fashion tips. I wouldnt cut out that part of the bumper. It's going to look Tacky. If i were you i would consider doing a horizontaly placed front mount, just taking the fogs out nothing more, or doing a 98+ front end conversion. Your Iat's should be more then acceptable with any of those listed options.

Oh ok it's photoshopped. I don't think it looks bad though. I'd probably see if airflow was going to be enough before I did the job.

it would look pretty bad because of the contour of the nose. it comes to a point and also concaves, so cutting a hole out from that would look like ***...

^I'm with him. I don't think you could pull it off. Maybe if the nose was flat. Defnitely not with the way it comes to a point.

97WS6Pilot's car on Cz28.com has a similar set up for his FMIC, here is a video to give you an idea. I think yours would look a little better since it's black, would blend in more.

i would do side mounts or i seen a guy take out the fog lights and put cut a hole where the front license plate bracket goes and he took the braket and cut strips out of it and placed it. looked more clean then just cutting a big rectangle out of the front bumper
