    I never would have thought of making a functional hood scoop there, way to utilize body lines.:waytogo: I was kinda thinking functional EVO style on my 4x4.:lol

    Thanks for the comments guys. I'm happy with the progress I've made. I had many thoughts of scrapping the project in the beginning.

    The top radiator tank site right behind there. It would be pretty tricky to make ducting that will reach your intake. I have even less space now with the intercooler there.

    I'm thinking about doing the same valance on my 4x4, was it an easy and obvious (for mounting) mod, pics would probably help. SD's going to do it and used yours as an inspiration on his thread.

    I'm going to remove the bumper to install my foglights. I'll post up pics of the mods I did to mount the valance.

    I'm going to mount the lights below in the openings in the valance.

    Two more questions...
    1) You made brackets for those lights in the bumper, right?
    2) is that an AE86 Corolla next to it? (unimportant, just curious)

    Bump, I would also like to know about how the center lights are mounted in the bumper. I was thinking about putting some fog lights in on mine and was curious how you got yours mounted and what size the lights are.

    I agree, great job! Consider your hood scoop idea stolen...er...emulated.
