Stock s4 Bumper modifications?

So, just wondering if any of you guys have modified your stock s4 bumpers to allow for better airflow for an FMIC and/or to make the front end look better. I found a couple s5 bumpers cut out with lips that looked nice...but can't find much on s4's. Let me hear/see your ideas.

There's not really much you can do with the s4 that'll look good.
I wish I could put s5 fogs in mine

I stand corrected. That's a pretty good job. How are temps with it?

That looks really good too. Mine looks like crap because a few of my rub strip bolts came off and it hangs down.

I have a Kaminari front bumper kit for an s4. they're not made anymore, so its pretty rare. I've been debating selling it for the right price.

its basically a half bumper, for the lower section, also covers the front lower section of the fender....

anybody have any pics with maybe some sort of mesh across the opening? How restrictive is mesh to the airflow realistically?

yup to answer your question, unfortunately i do have a picture with some sort of mesh.

This is my car in "chicken coop stealth mode". Once was more than enough. I dont recomend this look at all, it was much different in my head. By different i actually mean acceptable.
