Default What do you guys think?...

Me and my buddy were looking at the front of my xB the other day and he came up with a crazy idea. He wants me to cut out the bumper in between the 2 lower grills so that it would just be one big wide mouth grill on the bottom. Then go get a custom billet grille to fill that whole lower part. What do you guys think? How much would it affect the safety of the front bumper? opinions please...

Yes & no, IF you cut the actual bumper then yes it is a safety issue, but if you just cut the bumper cover, no it should be fine, look funny, but be fine.

I'm geussing you wanted to hear, "Wow! That's a great idea! Nice thinking!". But with these cats, you end up with watcha gots. I'm used to it by now, and that's why I don't ask for many opinions. If you are happy with the look man, then screw everyone else! It's yo' ride, now floss it in the hater's faces! :D

I say to each his own...not my personal style but I enjoy all forms of modifications to everyone's rides on this site. Everyone has their own style and preference and that is accepted by most of us on this site.

i agree 1000% about it but the thing is if you dont like it keep it moving dont sit there and flame someone for not having the same style as you or the same tastes what im trying to say is if you have nothing nice tosay keep it to yourself because more then likely your scion is just as bad if not worse then the one you are commenting on to each there own and some may be nicer then others but thats how it goes

You could paint in some pointy teeth when you cut that out and scare people. Wait, you wouldn't have to paint the teeth on to scare people.
