thinking of ideas, cutting the FTP's on front bumper

I was thinking about ways to enhance my front bumper, I have the corksport odula front lip replica,
and I was thinking about taking out the FTP's and cutting up to the top of the bumper, to give it this kind of effect.




has anyone ever done this to the stock bumper?

Depending on how it would look, I dunno if you would need/want to fill the edges up to the head light, if I were to do this and fill the inside, I think a lil. fiberglass and filler would take care of it and not be that difficult.

If anyone has anypics that would be cool, or I doubt it would be that difficult to photoshop if someone gets bored enough.

thanks!

On that car, it looks good. But, on a stock bumper it dosnt look very good at all. I had a friend cut his bumper that way, when the lights were down it looked super ugly. so he kept the lights up all the time, and it wasnt as ugly, but still very ugly. on a stock bumper... do it only, if you dont mind everybody making fun of you for it.

so.... you guys are going with camero, but shouldn't we hint on the overweight copycat 300zx which is kind of what it would look like with the headlights just there.

It doesn't look THAT bad if you put a lens over the hole, in order to covert it to non-flipup lights (disable the motors or something)... there's an FC like that in Shutokou Trial 4, which doesn't look TOO bad... I'm sure it helps hard-core night racers too (less air resistance).

Remember, the lights are on kind of a swivel mount, so even when they're down, they're basically pointing forward (for the FTP's I guess).

I certainly wouldn't do it, though. Stock bumper FTW...
