Ok, so I was thinking of cutting out the center grill and the two side sections highlighted in pic.
And then installing a mess grill in place. I don't want the mess flush with the bumper tho. I'm thinking I could have it out past the bumper surround about an 1/8 inch with a rounded edge and painted black..
In my mind it looks good....I hope
But my question is this...
I have the adaptive cruise and the bliss system....

Questions:
Has anyone had their front bumper off?
Was there anything behind these plastic panels on each side
Also, your answers hold more importance if you have he same options.


Just hoping there is nothing behind. Haven't had a chance to get under car and look myself.

Thx

Hahahahaha

That's exactly what I want... I called GAS but they said they were not producing...
Let me know if you find out who did the other ones and if they are for sale or custom mods?

Planning on doing a few body mods (this being one) before I plastidip my Ex. Also roof antenna delete and hood scoop/vents.

Yea I've seen the shark fin and considered it. But I no longer have or want Sirius XM, and never really listen to am/fm anymore. Its all about Spotify & Pandora for me.

So... I'd like it completely flat up there. Might be more trouble than its worth tho.
