you and i should split the cost of the gt-four bumper. and i get the top half and you can have the bottom.

sounds like a good idea.. for both of you that is..
actually i think it would still need some sort of upper grill vent like the gt4... so something along these lines:  not exactly a gt4 grill but you get the idea.. PS that into your pic and see how that looks like -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Gtfour bumper doesn't cost that much. but then again, your idea doesn't change that much. You're basically taking the GTfour bumper and shaving off the top grill, which is probably the best looking part of the GTfour front end. But if you really want to do it, then it can be done

I never really liked the top grill... it looks good on the gt-four but im not a huge fan... not to sound negative or anything but... this pic kinda looks like an ST in middle school with braces haha - Matt |

lolz yeah well im not going turbo for awhile but just thinking. so just picture the intercooler out.
as for splitting the cost WHY NOT!! to me the top grille insert is way to attractive. it catches to much attention in my eyes. that's why this idea popped in my head. also i dont like the bulge part of the gt4 fronts. its just asking too much for a stock 5s 6gc DAMN YOU malpaso you cause a virus to spread with your body evolution

personally i would want to do something similar to what malpaso did. gt4 hood and customized the bumper to match the lines but no vent on top. if i could afford that type of custom work that's what i would do.

goferris just do it yourself........fiberglassing the hole shut isnt that hard. i did some of that stuff on my dads gen.1..........its just the hole on the hood is WAYYY bigger than the rust holes i covered up.
but yeah really really tempting......... -------------------- I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
