    See its a little easier for the Si. My front end comes to a point. The Si is more rounded or semi flat. Sorta hard to explain but damn does it suck.

    Why dont you look into an aftermarket? Ive seen some that would help airflow, have you considered that?

    I haven't seen any front bumpers I like. I also worry about fitment. I want a quality fit. But a race look. Considering its mainly my race car I'd still like to keep her clean flowing.

    Understandable. In your situation, you could either cut the holes in the front bumper, or do what fred did (what ep3 guys do) and cut the bumper to have a larger opening. Up to you. In the mean time, you could cut the underpart of the bumper to allow more airflow towards the top of the IC. That would help without changing the look of the bumper, just be careful when taking it off/putting it on because of the rigidity loss. Know what I mean?

    Yea that makes sense. I'll have to think it out. I have all kinds of time to figure it out before the car fires over again.

    I'll break out the painters tape tonight and tape up where I'd think holes should go and look. Then I'll post em up
