screw what people think im cutting out that section in the middle, removing the fog lights, making a giant ram air scoop and covering the entire whole with mesh. I'm also taking out my turn signals and relocating em somehow (still not completly sure what im gonna do) and putting front air cooled brakes and those holes are getting covered with black mesh....its gonna look schweeet

Hey I have an 88 Formula and I took the black bumper guard things off of the bumper and shaved the brackets behind the bumper and I went to Lowes and bought some of what they call "Gutter Guard" in sheets it's like a 3 foot long by about 8 inch wide peice and I paid like $1.50 a piece for them they look just like the same aluminum mesh as u see in magazines or whatever for a lot cheaper and it is actual aluminum so it doesnt rust what so ever and it looks amazing behind the little slot holes in my bumper, I say go for it and if Ricers say mouth you about it ask them where they got the idea for their ram air or SS style scoop on their slow @ss civic!

Has anybody done this on a 1991-1992 Firebird or Trans Am? Im thinking about doing but would like to see some pics. Id rather use the thin mesh like the Z06 has and I still want to keep my fog lights in there correct location.

Any help
