Would my insurance company have a problem if I cut out the center horizontal part of the front bumper? The design would look much cleaner with just one large opening.

 

they probably won't care or even notice


just do it....

 

I've been thinking about cutting the bumper too. How are you going to do it?

 

It'll look something like this: http://maximaproducts.com/meets/1027...s/DSC00017.htm

 

Hmmmm. . .not sure I like the look of that. It makes me think I should be looking for a 2' diameter turbine exhaust protruding from the bumper cover in the back. . .

Maybe it would look better with some type of grille treatment (?)

 

Do it. It would look great. My name is Brock also.

 

I want to do the same thing also, but don't know where to start.
Can someone post some instructions on hoe to do this procedure?

Thanks

p.s. a grill insert would definetly look real nice there!

 

whos car is that?
are those tenzo poke 10's?

 

That's geomax's car. (Doesn't post all that often but we hang out sometimes ... that was taken at the Woodbury, NY meet.)

And I have no idea what rims those are.

 

well if you get in touch lemme know , im thinking of getting those.

 

Thanks for the post guys. If I decide to do the opening, I'll definately insert some type of custom grille. Maybe one of Photoshop members can doctor up the picture attached in "Sil SE" message above.

 

hello

 

isn't there a metal support in the back of the bumper opening?

 

That must be some nice air you get to your intake, eh geo?

 

yes there is a bar but for some reason they are diffrent from a 95 and a 96 im not to sure about 97-99


and gtr rider that was my friends truck it was tottaled but he intercooler and the supercharger lived so its all good

 

So, does anyone have a picture of a 4th gen with a grille in the opening?

 

i am trying to make a grill for the openeing but i have to take my bumper off again so until i do we will see what happens but i am working on it

 

Paint the middle black, or just get black vinyl and cover it, same result with out irreversable effect. Vinyl is only like $10 at most to cover that area, email shadow. At least do this to see how it would look in person.

 

Well, Spring is here and I feel the need to do some mod's to the ride. Did anybody over the last couple of months cut open the front bumper and fill the area with a grille?

 

I got into a fender bender aw hile ago so I have a new bumper sitting in my garage and I am thinking about doing this. But, where would i get mesh big enough to cover that huge hole? Home Depot gutter mesh is like half the size...

 

Why would you want to put a mesh grill in there?



Doesnt that look good without a grill?

 

I dont know. Im so confused! hehe. Can you photoshop some mesh on there maybe?

 

gimme a mesh pic, please

 

For my taste, I prefer a grill. Looks cleaner that way.

 

that would look cleaner i think, what about a fake intercooler

 

Bump

 

Where can you get mesh big enough to cover that? Ill go get my bumper cut this week if someone can tell me where to get the mesh! Home depot mesh isnt big enough.

 

That's a disappointing photochop Luke ... I'm very disappointed.

 

Well since no one is reply to my other post im going to ask here

I took my new front bumper to the autobody guy and asked him to cut it out for me. He said its a bad idea because that middle thing between the valences is where the foam support rests. If he were to cut that out it wouldnt have the foam, and the bumper would be wably or somthing. Can anyone comment on this? I was all gungho to do this but now im not too sure. Its sitting at the body shop now.

 

hey sup man, did u at least get the fog holes cut out yet? Anyway, just tell him u want it cut and fill the side too. Cut the foam it shuldnt be wobly

 

Hey,

Yeah he cut out the fog holes.
The foam fits into an area in that middle bar place so with it cut into one large opening there is no place to put the foam...

 

Oh also- what do you mean fill in the sides?

 

You could try to use ceramic tile lathe (also available at Home Depot).

It's what you hammer into a floor so that the tile grout/"cement mix stuff" to adhere to. It's plenty big!

hope this helps!

IM sorry, so sorry!

 

ok u can cut the foam off i did very easythe only thing i say to do is when cutting the middle bar out make sure u leave a bit of bumper so u can fold it so it would look like a clean cut
