New idea...instead of cutting holes like the Evo...how bout making slits like the ralliart symbol?

///////// down the center of the bumper...more ralliart-esque...

It could look good, but has the potential to look really ghetto. Much like the Honda people who go wild with a hole saw. Post up pics though when you are done.

Great idea but you'll lose structure integrity on the slices & thickness between slices on plastic & metal.
From driving with the forces of the wind slices will bow inward with hot temp.

If you take this route, you'll need to reinforce your plastic bumper & maybe the crash beam also so they dont warp.

Well maybe only cutting the slips on the bumper but having the big holes on the beam..

+1 reinforcing the bumper behind the slits...

I just dont like the idea of trying to mimic the Evo style bumper..we need to stand out on our own!

You could plut a small flap on the bottom of the crash beam.
This would create an upwards vortex of air just in front of an aftermarket/larger IC core.

A lot of domestic cars use this for better radiator cooling.

You can get weather stripping on the cheap at home depot along with 4-6 sheet metal screws.

I had thought of doing something like this but I am afraid with the bad conditions of our roads up here with potholes debris rocks and gravel I would simply be making a convenient path for this debris to get sucked or directed into the IC or radiator. I will be looking at going to an aftermarket Evo front end of some kind as well as changing to Evo X fenders. Lets continue to post ideas.
