has anyone ever cut out their own "air duct" (not sure what to call it) on an oem front bumper similar to the one on the j's racing front bumper? i have a front bumper with a j's lip molded and want that small cut out in the front bumper, but dont want to replace the bumper i have with a different one

your thoughts?

 

yes... just recently, i had to refinish/repaint my oem front bumper and decided it was an opportune time to do a custom cut in my bumper.

i wanted something to look clean and have an oem look or feel. turned out better than i expected.

 

I would go for it. You may find it a better time to do it if you have a bunch of rick chips and need to get the bumper repainted anyway. It does look cool though and im sure a little extra air getting up in there doesnt hurt either.

I like it stolitonic22 :thumbsup:

btw, thats my fav drink as well
stoli + tonic = $$$

 

thanks..

btw that reminds me.. it is about lunch time.

 

or get the alex duct like my old car, have it painted and installed, and you dont need to repaint your whole front end.

js 1/2 as well:

 

thanks for the pics wyatt, thats exactly what im looking for, the bumper i have is just like that, i want something with an outline like yours, how did you get yours done?

 

buy the alex duct ($150), have it painted, have a shop cut the hole out in your bumper, put it in.. glue from the back to hold it in. if you get it all repainted, might as well try molding it better.. i wish i did.

 

sweet, my new bumper is still in the shop, waiting to be painted, where do i buy this alex duct (never heard of it)

i searched a little bit but just got people referring to it, not a whole lot of info
