Default Modify front bumper to look like GT2?

anyone added a front top vent to the original front bumper?

I have seen some adding the GT3RS vents. But not a GT2 type mod.

I spent 5min with some vinyl to see how it would look.

If done well and in an OEM-like fashion, I think it would look good. I've considered the idea myself because I like the look the of the vent on the GT2, but I also like the standard Turbo bumper.

Where does water drain when the vent is added? It seems to be further back from the normal drain location. And does it perform any real function? The engine has enough cooling.

This would be for looks only. You can add ducting and reposition the radiator to get more cooling. There is always room for more cooling...
I also think it improves dowforce at the front?
As for water drainage I have no clue. A lot of water enters through the front vents, as well so I guess its not a problem

The way the gt2 grill places in it would be very hard. It’s mounted in a step down shelf on the oem gt2 bumper. Not just as simple cut and fit job.

I like the look of the entire GT2 front end, and fixed wing, so a believer here.
