Default Need opinion. Pic enclosed.

Does

Does anyone know if it looks decent for 94-97 tegs to have the front bumper cut out? Im worried it will not be a clean cut and leave a indent on each side.

I want to spruce up the exterior of my car, and figured this would give it a cleaner look.

Any other exterior mods you guys suggest would be appreciated.

take ur bumper off and cut it out with a Rotozip. then get some body filler to smooth it out. prime it and spray it. and it's look better if u put honey comb grill in it. too.

i had it done, cut out the middle bar and shaved the holes left by it. i have a different lip now, but i think it looks good, expecially if there's an intercooler there to fill it up!

what if something flys in that huge hole and damages stuff. with the grille it will just maybe break the bumper cover w/o well youll have a hot teg if something hits there.
