Only problem is how hideous that bumper looks. Think I'd rather have my OEM closed off one
I like it for track car with proper wing, looks agressive and is functional. I'm considering doing it on mine.
On stock car with random spoiler... may look awkward.

As someone who dared to cut and create real ventilation for the front, I can tell you that there is more than just cutting the bumper off.

in the front there are a total of 3 layers of aluminum and 2 of plastic - luckily there are no wires or tubing or anything else there. On the back you have a few wire harnesses and more than a couple of things that I don’t even know what they are for. And then there is the issue of water getting in there and debris clogging the openings, noise in the cabin etc.

I’m not saying is not doable or even effective. We just don’t know. All I’m saying is that you will need an engineered kit or a lot of time and guts to do it.

the replacement bumper looks interesting… taste aside (people in the internet have a gift to hate on everything) never seen it until now.

Putting a diffuser on and sealing the rear (especially if it has a non oem muffler) would probably do much more than putting that hideous bumper on.

My front alrdy has vents behind fenders and vents on top of them. And a big hood vent too, so cuting is not scary ;)

Stock muffler for now coz didnt want the car to be too loud, U know, track limits. Im not a fan of verus/speed engineering mounting solutions for their diffusers and df gain is in 40-50lbs range at 124mph so not huge.
