no.. lol
the only thing i MAY be filling in is the front scoop, but theres only like a 10% chance.. i don't have the middle grill opening like everyone else in my bumper, so i don't think it would look over the top with that scoop, thats why i have to wait and see what it will look like..
heres my front end.
i think since the front is really plain that the scoop may actually look pretty good.. and on top of that i would have the added air helping to cool everything in the engine bay..
believe it or not, my engine bay gets super hot, cuz almost no air gets in. the front hole is blocked by IC, and their is no air flow thru the stock middle grill like most bumpers have.
