In case you're interested in what your car looks like without the front bumper (click to enlarge):

Forgive my ignorance, but where are the openings for the air intakes? Thanks!

Good question...

There are snorkels behind the radiator shroud, air enters from the top and not the front.

Eh top, just thinking about whole water snorkeling process...makes the Velossa product look more efficient, takes the work out of trying to breathe. Dunno ..2cents

Thank you! And I tend to agree, @TwistedOrca. I don't want to lose the shroud, though. And God knows I'd do a terrible job hacking it up to make the snorkels fit...

It’s that “mesh” looking opening.

What are your thoughts so far?

Interesting. You can see where this car is definitely seeing cost cutting compared to its German competition.

My car has K&N CAI installed.

Strange question...can you post some photo's of the hood latch? My cable isn't working...and need to take a peek at it!

I was thinking about putting a Big Mouth upgrade into mine, I was wondering how difficult it is to remove the bumper.

 

[forzanerazzurri]

Where is that?

One example is that most BMW's have a carbon bumper reinforcement and have since the e46.

Super easy, 4 bolts, 17 clips and it pulls right off.
