Default Cheap mod

Alright ..here is a cheap mod to reduce drag ....and weight

Cut out bumper (no eggs ) ..and then put a matching grill (as front ) behind it ....

Example : see pic




I am thinking about doing something like that ....would look nice with type R front lips/rear lips....those lights got to go though....

less wind resistance smart guy. the rear bumper acts like a parachute and at 100 mph it does make a difference.

That's because it is!

And for the guy who made fun of the original poster thinking he'd cut it out for weight savings,....that made my early morning!

Aesthetically speaking, it looks like ****. But hey, (I hope that's not your car) you have altezzas and is that an OBX muffler? I say you might as well as do it , and if it looks good on an Integra then you might set a new trend.

Aesthetically speaking, this is fugly. So are the tailights. Where does the inner bumper and styrofoam absorber go? Buy a rear diffuser to redirect the air beneath the bumper. Do you really think that turning the air upwards through a tortuous path is superior to keeping the flow smooth beneath the bumper? Bernouli's principle says fast and smooth air beneath the bumper will create down force. A diffuser enhances that effect. Cutting hole in the bumper cover will cause a momentum change in the air and MORE drag.

If you want a reality check, how many Ferarris, Porches, Vettes, Vipers, race cars, etc. have you seen with holes cut into the front or rear bumpers?

"cheap mod" huh? I see alot of cheap mods on that car. Unless you are actually trapping over 100mph, its pointless.

That's because Ferarris, Porches, Vettes, Vipers are considered luxury sport cars...

Race cars are a different story. Do you get the point or do you want to start off one of your replies with the same format I use?
