WTH? Saggy lip!? LMAO!! I think the "off center tow hook" threw your bearings a little off as you tried to flipping the image to try righting the hook the "common" way? Perhaps you stared at the picture upside down?
Thanks for your input anyways :) |
Why do you think you need one? You did not explain that. If you are asking if it looks good, IMHO........ No, it does not look good regardless of your proficiency on photoshop..

Front air ducts/nostrils are for race cars.
If you are all "because race car" I can totally respect that, but I'm sure there are more sleeper ways to get the same results (such as Modshack's fang ducting for brakes). As for hydrolocking, unless you're driving through a torrent and the intakes are directly behind the duct, you won't hydrolock. A "block off" like Stillen's G3 intakes does the trick; you still get cold air and most of the rain doesn't get to your intakes. Driving through lakes will definitely hydrolock, though. As a rule of thumb, unless you completely submerge the intakes, you will not hydrolock (no matter what intake you might have). |

Ignore everyone who is saying that it isn't "sleeper" or that they are for "race cars" unless you are doing this to impress other people. The real question is do you like them? You obviously aren't going for a 'sleeper' look, but you seem to like the look of functionality, even if it is a little busy. (The answer to your question is that contrast also gives your car a busier look). Given that, I'd say go for it. It fits with the rest of what you've got going on. Not my taste, but seems to go with yours. Enjoy.

Thank you for your input Scribe. I do like the "function over form" approach as you accurately analyzed. I rather have a light and functional lip and canards than either a bulky snow plow looking lip or heavy aftermarket bumper of lower OEM quality just for aesthetic purposes. I do like the ducts primarily because they are 100% functional :)
Ducts coupled with K&N filters would provide excellent gains comparable to any aftermarket intake. There is no better intake system than the 370's OEM system at preventing heat soak thus increasing its efficiency. The highest HP gains done with some of these aftermarket intake systems were achieved by removing the front bumper and with an open hood. The main restrictive element being the front bumper. All these manufactures play the numbers game of course, so they can sell their products, but with a simple bumper modification, you can achieve similar numbers as well. |
Stillen is a fully functional bumper with brake ducts, but you weren't talking about stillen, right? beside I enjoyed my front vents with Gen 3 but love the Intercooler install much more..my custom vents with bumper going up for sale after the holidays ...fyi
Picture below ..are you sure those vents on Hood is functional |
