I don't have any pics but there will be an open hole. You'll be able to see a few ac lines, the condensor, and your horn. It looks alright if you take your ac out. Just be really careful when cutting around the edges - be as smooth as possible. It would be better if you could sand it down and then repaint it. Good luck.

it will look like this..


there will be a hole where that middle bar is attached. It's not too noticeably on my car cuz it's black, but if you're car isn't dark coloured, i'd say get it shaved by a bodyshop or something. Good luck

Car looks good in black with that CF lip I had to modify my front bumper to fit my FMIC as well and just used a dremmel tool with a Roto-Zip bit to cut the uerethane, then I went back over it with a dremel sanding drum tool to remove the little fuzzy things that cutting it leaves. the maybe even hit it with some sandpaper and you won't even know it was cut

what did you do about the holes where you cut out that cross member (the colored part of the grill). I was thinking of just mudding it up and sanding it down then repainting the entire bumper. Plus i have a new lip to go w/ it..... keep the pics coming
