im using the circles for fog lights that are circles kinda like the new max's, do you think it will look ok if there are fogs in them or should i still change the shape? Any other things i should add or change or should i just sand and down now and finish it? I was thinking about adding brackets between the headlights on the top like the R33's have, and then either leaving the rest open like the 33 or moding the trenz grill to fit in there.

thanks, im glad you like it. The down side is that there will probably be only one like it. Im making it myself because i want something alittle different and don't care for any front ends that are out right now. I also don't have any idea on how i would go about getting more done or what the cost would be to do it.

Great effort, even greater effect. I've been toying with several ideas on mods to the front bumper. But, a novice like myself has no idea how to go about it, other that cutting some holes. I've even considered cutting away the separator between my 4th gen. openings. BTW, how did you round the openings. This is one of the stumbling blocks I've run into in my design decissions. I'd like to talk to you via phone. Please email me your phone number. Do you know of any other threads or people doing bumper mods.

thanks. Im also a novice at this i've never played with a body kit in my life and have had limited experece with fiberglass when it comes to sound systems but i've learned some good tricks and had a few people show me some basic stuff and i think im doin ok. As fas as cut outs im not sure which ones you mean, i did all the cutting with a jig saw so im not sure if that answers your question.

The opening adjacent to the main center opening has the hole with rounded edges that roll inward. Can a novice do something like this?

That is some nice work!

Check out last months eddition of Road & Track...they show the new lightweight BMW M3 CL and on the front bumper in the mid lower right side, there is an additional 4 inch round hole covered with a black mesh grill to allow air to enter into the engine bay to the air filter area....the way they did it looked clean and nice! maybe an idea for you? Good luck with it!
