Mocking up new TA bumper scoops pt. 1

I just got done mocking up new removable scoops for my enlarged TA bumper opening. I used cardboard to get the rough shape out, which is why passenger side looks alot rougher than the driver's side.

Right now they are press fit. Not sure what material I want to make them out of since i had to add the middle sections to keep the scoops from sagging in the middle. I still have to add some hidden mounting hardware, but will wait till i make some prototypes to see how the fit is before i make them permenant. I like the open look, but i might add some sort of screening later on, still up for debate.

Are you planning on still using the fog lights?
I like the whole thing, you did good!
