Default drilling holes in back bumper

i was just thinking about drilling maybe 6 holes 3 on each side of license plate 3.5~4 inch wide eash...to reduce drag and to look a little different. what do u guys think? i doubt ill be freeing up much drag with my street teg but i think it'll help.

I've seen diffuser plates that look like anodized aluminum that fit around the holes to dress them up a bit. I don't know who mades them though. Still look ***** IMO.

STR makes the plates.

Seriously though, I wouldn't suggest doing this. It will look horrible.

before you go and do that you might wanna strip the interior completely, that means dash and what not , then find everything else that you dont need then if u really think you need to drill holes go and do it, but otherwise thats just stupid cuz you wont gain sh*t

don't do it. drag reduction will be minimal.

I would like to see results from the diffuser GE sells. I just can't see them being that benefical.

I'm not here to start wars...but, if he did do it, and he wasn't a serious drag racer, i wouldn't call it a "ricer" mod. I've seen a few bumpers like that, it is different, if it really peaks his interest, i say go for it.

It is a useless mod, though. The air under the car is so dirty anyway...

Boy, I'd love to see somebody actually mold a flat floorpan (maybe even terminating in a diffuser?). One big problem with designing it is that the Honda exhaust system is plumbed in such a way as to make it near impossible. Other than that, just a lot of hard work.
