I can never decide if I like the bumper w/out the FTP lens in or not. I guess it depends on the quality of paint that is on the bumper

In an RX performance book I saw a pic of an FC where the person took their FTP lense and created 3 holes in the lens and modified the back of the lens to allow airflow. Unfortunately the book didn't talk about the specifics of how the person did it. I imagine just cut the back of the lens off and either move the air around the framework behind it, or perforate the framework to allow air to travel through it. I talked to a body shop about whether you could perforate that framework and keep the car structurally sound. They claimed they could...who knows??

Of course modifying the FTP lens for airflow would only be effective when the headlights were up. But that is why you'd have the duct on the headlight cover.

i think your intercooler setup is more important then worrying about incoming air..

but yah, any way to supply the air filter with fresh air is still better then nothing.

hence why you never see "Cold air intakes" for turbo cars... because the intercooler does that job.. Even if you did have a cold air.. your only limited to whatever temp the IC is at.. so if your intercooler is "heatsoaked".. yah it wont do much to have that cold air.

I got me such a good idea yo! Ima make me a preturbo turbo with my hairdryer! That way I'll force more air into the turbo. More air in is more air out is more powa right! Who cares about temps homes, yo got yoself an intercooler right?

No more posting about pyhsics for you please. You do not have a clue how they work in this world.
