OK, call me a novice in the automotive world knowing hardly enough to get by in a garage, but I noticed something very interesting when I was at my garage today asking the guys about installing the Magnaflow dual exhaust (I bring 'em the goods, they'll charge only $100 for the install - not a bad deal in my mind!). :thumbs:
As we chatted about the engine, drivetrain, shocks, etc... I noticed the front grill is actually solid behind the black honeycomb / mesh pattern. I knew the hood grills were not open, but that's no big deal to me.
Option 1 - Dremel out each hole.
Option 2 - Remove what appears to be 4-10mm bolts holding the chrome grill to the car and then gently pull back on the black plastic snaps that hold the "grill" behind the chrome.
Aside any cosmetics, wouldn't this allow the engine, specifically adding a CAI or dual CAI in my case, to suck in more air, cleaner air, cooler air....?
Or, have I missed something completely obvious in my train of thought.
