I wanted to run something by everyone and get some other perspectives. I have been thinking about cutting and fiberglass these openings and making them a somewhat symmetrical opening on each side instead of the way they currently look as a vent of some sort and a fog light cutout. Not a definite but just thinking right now. If I do it I'll probably lay some aluminum mesh grille behind the opening like in the center.

Nobody?

I'd say put some fog lights in there but they probably won't fit with the intercooler piping there

 

piaa old school fogs......
the one that is similar to the evo5 front bumper, i think it should fit or you can make
it work from that spot, good luck!

 

I'm sure they wont fit but either way the intercooler piping would rub the wires too much. There isn't much room at all right there, had to cut it pretty close to fit the piping. I thought about making them into brake duct or even a velocity stack up to the air filter.

as much as I am curious to see how it turns out, my gut just tells me fire is the best solution. its got more oddities than just that. I would say maybe fill the fog lights and everything, you don't need airflow on the sides.

 

I am looking into the possibility of filling the indentations on the center upper portion of the bumper. I thought about filling all 4 holes on the front but I'm not sure if it would look good, I think it might look out of place with just solid sides like that. I did think about filling the fog light holes and keeping the ones next to them. I wish I still had a copy of photoshop so I could play with it and see how it would turn out.
