Trying to keep things cool...
I added eigth 1 1/2 inch holes in the euro bumper skin
and I also removed the front headlight so I extended the intake. Hopefully this will lower the intake degrees a little at the track.

That should help quite a bit with airflow. This is OT but check out your strut bearings before and after. My Rabbit eats them quick.

Sorry dude, but you added 10 holes, not 8. But I forgive you.
I actually like the way it looks! http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

HDM stylz
Home Depot Motorsports baby!

Atleast this is better then when I had CIS and used a shop -vac attachment with a aircooled beetle duct clipped on the front fascia as a cold air intake.

Have you noticed rice.er guys always drill holes in there rear bumper covers? Air flow out the back? Is the rear bumper catching that much air???? I though Honda's had the same aerodynamics as Ferrari's.....

Re: (vr6ofpain)

looks good man you could always cutt it right out and make a sleave to fit into the bumper so it makes the airflow get to the IC even better that i think would look good also http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
