Nice innovation, Will most definently give a cleaner front end look, definently in for results

As far as function.... as already mentioned... I would be shocked if it actually did anything.. but with that being said...

http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...t-drive-review

"Outside, a new front bumper fights aerodynamic lift with an available chin spoiler that increases the low-pressure zone under the nose. Two oval nostrils in the bumper help the intercooler by ramming fresh air around its input and output pipes."

not a fan, but interested to see what it will look like. I'm a function > form guy, but I like the way the IX bumper looks. This will be different, but that doesn't always mean better. Anyway, good luck with the project.

Looks kind of funny without the holes but at the end it's your car so do whatever makes you happy!
