To cut, or not to cut?

Edit- Get rid of those fog lights while you are at it.
NO WAY!!!!! There's nothing better looking than a fully filled bumper imho. I think that looks awesome.

There is no way I will be cutting holes in the front like that. I just don't like that look at all, although it would be very benificial. I'm leaning towards uncut right now. I wouldn't say I'm having cooling issues though. Once I removed the stock fan and put on this slim fan my coolant temps have been a bit higher than before. I guess I'll just have to add another fan!

Oh, and I did do the split vacuum line trick on the cut-out on my old bumper.

Cutting mine hellped alot with cooling and intercooler efficency. I cut mine with rounded off corners for a little cleaner look IMO.

Yea I remember seeing your car at the cookout. The only thing is, is that your front mount is about twice the size as mine haha. I am running the SBR 8" street kit. I was pondering the idea of trimming the under-part of the bumper. So it would leave a gap between the bumper and intercooler for air to get up and through.

When I've seen your car, I've always liked the look of it EXCEPT for the cut bumper. An uncut one will improve the look of your car quite a bit.

Uncut

Thanks! Yeah the cut-out I did didn't turn out as well as I wanted since the bumper started to warp on me..

Here is the plan as of now. I marked where I'm going to cut the bumper in red. It's just to give the air some room to go up and over the intercooler.

I wouldn't cut it, your car looks mighty clean with it un-cut. I can see cutting it like you have outlined it red though, as long as you can't really see it.

You won't be able to see that cut at all. It would look like a stock bumper. Unless you bent down and looked up.

Cut it.

Swifty, that looks like garbage. Don't do it.
