I love the facelift bumper, but somehow I believe it would look even better with that top bumper vent in a gt-4 style. Now I wonder, has anyone done this before me? Either merging a gt-4 bumper vent with a facelift bumper, or cutting a custom hole in a bumper and fiberglassing it...
I'd like to see some pics before I decide to do anything to my bumper. This post has been edited by Nihil: Aug 14, 2012 - 3:36 AM -------------------- |

Wow, I can't believe the response Never thought so many guys did this... and every single one looks great (except for the bmw, but that's just because there's no place for German symbols on jap cars )
Since I don't see the point on putting a GT-4 hood on my ST (that seems a bit ricer-ish), I love the custom made vents where you can keep the original hood. Perhaps I'll try this myself, but I need to get some experience with fiberglassing or some other way of plastic modification. Thanks guys! -------------------- |

Speaking of which... What would be the best way to make the vent?
My guess is cutting a hole out and fiberglassing the edge to a nice finish... but there could be other ways -------------------- |

and you have to get the gt4 hood, or do the body work to get the center grill section lined up with your stock hood. the gt4 setup is a bit taller.

krazy glue or loctite glue, it does not appear to be doublesided or screw.
