      First one looks the best IMO.
      It'll help a tad with cooling. Megasquirt reports a small drop during cruise when I took my bumper and valance completely off.

      Don't ruin your euro style trim though. Find some spares.

        I would never ruin good euro trim for this. THAT would be flame worthy blasphemy. IF I do it at all, I'll do it first with the US trim to see if I like it. I got a set of old worn scuffed and faded euro trim which I plan on restoring; I wouldn't feel too bad about it cutting up.

            clearly. me too. ;) except I have 12 holes. Because it's twice as good as 6, right?











            but in truth, here's an idea: DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO TO YOUR CAR. Why do you need peoples' opinions on a minor cosmetic thing? Don't be so worried about what other people think, just do whatever you like (so long as it doesn't make your car dangerous to other drivers on the road, of course).

                Doesn't seem worth it, if you have cooling problems id suggest fixing that issue before you cut holes in the bumper for a solution to the problem. Looks cheap.

                    I think it only works if you also drill the holes in the back... you know.. for balance

                          haters gonna hate and ainters gonna aint

                          It's done. And I like it. Also fwiw it did drop operating temp by about a needle width.

                          Pictures are at the end of my build thread if anyone is interested to see the finished product.
