I think it turned out pretty well. Makes the car look more like it means business.

not all u have to do is turbo it and put in an intercooler to fill in that gap. lol got any pics from a lil farther away and diff angles?

Yep, an Intercooler would look really cool, especially if it was hooked to an SRT4 2.4L turbo engine. Here's another pic.

But either way...

Cut out the fog holes too. Would complete the look you're goin' for.

cut out the cross hairs in the upper grill lol jk

no... but it wouldn't be a bad idea to either black out the chrome or color match it to your car... there was a thread around here somewhere about someone backing out the chrome and it looked badass

EDIT: here are a few posts w/ pics.

I'd like to do the Fog Light holes and add, well, Fog Lights. We get a lot of fog around here when the seasons change because of the big temp. diff. between day and night so Fog Lights would come in handy.
We used to black out or remove all the chrome on our VW Bugs back in the day.
Like I say, this car is a work in progress, just doing what I can when I can to get it to where I want it. At a later date I want a body kit or at least a new front bumper cover, something that looks nicer then stock but until then I'll do what I can to make it look a bit more modded.

lol if you want... i have a Multi Function Switch and OEM fog harness... not sure about it working on an 03+ though

Open your interior fuse panel and check fuse #19 to see if it is hooked up (That's the fog fuse)

Here's a pic of my version...just flat black paint...a before and after shot... probably have posted before tho... after shot includes the lip kit and stripes... kind of agree on the side or fog-light holes...u should probably do those to...

I was supprised to find out that the lower part of the upper grill that I thought was blocked off actually had a stryafoam padding for the bumper behind it. Now I see why it's blocked. I may open up the fog light area, that would keep it looking the same all the way across.

Looks like you knocked its teeth out.

im not really diggin' it. seems like there is just too much open space and something is missing.

That'd be a great place to stick an oil cooler.

or an air to air intercooler

then you could use the hole on the passanger side where a fog would go for an oil cooler, and the one on the drivers side for a ram air turbo intake for the track

then with a front lip, you could have a shroud fabbed to direct a little bit more air over the intercooler thru the thin slit on it.

not a sermon, just a thought

And if frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their ass when they hop. LOL.

I know what you're talking about but keep one word in mind, BUDGET, as in I don't have much of one. Someday I'll build up an SRT4, 2.4L turbo and stick in it but until then I've got to keep it cheap.
