I don't mind the hole for the intake. Did you first try routing it thru the vent underneath where you have it now? I think the fogs are what I dig the most. The reverse lights, not so much.

Thanks for the advice fellas. I'll kill the tow hook and clean up the intake port somehow. I'll look around for different reverse lights that would look better; if I can't find any soon I'll just take them out and fill the holes and use the stock reverse lights.

I did; it worked fine and looked good, but I got some fog lights that sit in those ports so I cut the hole and re-routed the intake. I've since ditched those fog lights for the ones in the grill but I've grown to like the port I made so I left it there, haha.

I think I'm going to get a square piece of metal and cut a perfectly round hole in the center and bolt that around the intake port to make it look cleaner and more like it is 'supposed' to be there. (Plus the edges of the hole don't look very good up-close... I just cut it with a dremel so it doesn't look great.)

And the reverse lights are definitely going. Thanks for the feedback!

+2. Your not gaining any noticeable power by having that kind of "ram air" setup. Plus since you ditched the fogs, you can easily convert that area to run air through if you feel it to be so necessary.

I'm not plenty of people. :]

It looks unique, and a lot of people like it. I will probably clean it up somehow but I think it's going to stay.

Thanks for the input though!

What screw? You mean the bolts holding the lip on? Well duh, if I didn't want you to see them I would not have drawn them.

Everyone's tc looks clean. I want mine to look rough-and-tumble. Get out of your little tiny box of what "looks good." :B

Believe it or not, some people don't care about the 'value' of their car. I intend to drive this thing until the engine crumbles apart. And until then I'm going to love the hell out of it, and customize it to whatever degree I find necessary to make it look like what I want. Resale value be damned.

Your tc looks like every other tc I've ever seen. At least I'm trying something different, unlike the cowards like yourself.

The only thing keeping me from ditching this forum are the select few people here who have actually given me thoughtful comments and suggestions--I even appreciate the "your car looks bad" comments if they are backed up by reasons why.

So you can either give me some actual constructive feedback or stop proving how shallow and stupid you are with your useless garbage comments.



P.S. to everyone else; I have no problem with 'clean' tC's, or any tC for that matter, as long as its owner isn't a jackass.
