firebid guys......shaved front bumper cover?!?!

Has anyone else though of this? What would it look like to shave the two 'fog light' holes on a firebird. I mean, pretty much cover them up, and make the bumper look smooth. Can someone photoshop a pic of this? I think it might look pretty good.

I don't think I could do it just because I think the fog lights make the front end look really nice. I think doing something like that would make the car lose its appeal IMO.

I agree with you, sort of. However, I think that those fog light holes look somewhat out of place. IMO, the TA fog lights look much better. If there is a good way to do this, I am definately going to. Wonder how much a plastic welder is

Why not install fog lights and give the holes a purpose?

Or if you're heart-set on doing something, and you like the TA nose... install one of those.

Right now, I have a set of ground effects for my Formula. I think it might just be cool to have the holes shaved, then have a whole inset for fog lights or something, but not as big as the regular hole. Just an idea, I probably won't even do it.

I am not sure if I would like to see them "shaved"...but if you do a nice job trimming out the area and just add some black expanded screen it looks really nice. I did this on mine so I could get more cold air on my Turbo...it looks really good in my opinion. check the link below

You could have Fog Light black outs. I think they look really great, and would kind of accomplish what you are talking about. and will look more solid when/if I paint my car black. Check it out:
Here

Or if you were REALLY set on completely filled Fog Light Holes, you could buy a new front nose piece from VFN. Here

Of course you car could not be street driven at that point, seeing as your head lights wouldnt be functional, you wouldnt have any impact absorbers, and your hood wouldnt fit, plus a bout a hundred more reasons why it wouldnt work...but its an option

I thought of what that would look like myself. I even did a photoshop at work a long time ago. I put those holes to good use though, something no one has ever thougt of. Pics soon.

You could just buy the fog light covers and paint them to match the car. Just a thought. I have a black car so they worked pretty damn good the way they came.
