intercooler needs airflow. blocking airflow=more detonation/less power.

hahaha yeah, that was stupid. you just ****ed up the aerodynamics of the front bumper, in addition to the cooling efficiency. you also managed to make it look dumber in the process. great job

But hey it's your car and yours to do with as you please so best of luck to you.

Exactly... saves me from typing more.

I was thinking the exact same thing. However, I do like the molded in lower lip.

looks stupid, and you messed up the cooling properties, as well as the aerodynamics. but you get an A for effort
