Definitely not feeling closing up the front, however, I do think the shaved emblem looks kinda neat.

Design aside it looks like you guys did a very nice job on it. I have done alot of plastic fab work, and its definatly not something anyone can do well, I would be proud of your work.

I had thought the reason for the new EVO 9 front air inlets were to cool the inlet ond outlet tubes to the intercooler for more effective cooling, you shot that to hell.

I see two problems
#1 you blocked off the intercooler which I am sure will give you less cooling plus if anything will decrease areodynamics by stopping the air instead of it flowing thru the front bumper.
#2 by molding the lower lip your screwed if you hit anything or scratch it up, you will have to by a whole new bumper now instead of just the lower piece.
But hey it's your car and yours to do with as you please so best of luck to you.

I was expecting something amazing. Don't get me wrong, it's still nice, but nothing to skip a heart beat for.

Now I'm no expert on aerodynamics but I have noticed that cars entering the salt flats....most have little or no openings in the front. I think his aerodynamics won't affect him too much either way. Don't think he will be doing top speed runs too much.

IMO air flowing through the engine bay uncontrolled would make a car more unstable if you were truely moving that fast.....rather than around, over, and under the car helping it hold to the ground.

Haha, then again, that's probably why I don't sit by a wind tunnel getting the big bucks.

Looks like you put a he** of a lot of work into it. It looks clean, but seems as if cooling + aero will be reduced (best way to tell is put it into a wind tunnel, heh). Suberb job on the shaping though...

Side note: I couldn't fab it. And if I was as skilled as that, I would focus on other body panels.
