Got out the saw last night

now you have an excuse to get the new bumper sooner than later!

i doubt the mesh removal did anything meaningful, although i can understand it being winter and you getting antsy with idle hands and feeling you need to do some kind of car thing for fun

my thoughts exactly

I have a couple parts coming tomorrow

Trimmed out and painted

Personal preference, I would've tried to match the egg crate instead of going with the mesh, but it looks much better with the painted mesh then it did completely open IMO

Also, I agree with others in that I don't think it's really gaining you much in efficiency...It'd be pretty hard to test back to back, but I can't imagine your post IC temps being that much different than before. If you're that worried about IC efficiency, DIY a IC sprayer kit.

I’m actually going straight for the N2O. Cheaper than turbos to get me to 650hp
