SRT-4 cosmetic question "removed crosshairs" - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

I'm thinking about chopping out the crosshairs in my front bumper. I'm still up in the air on this idea, so give me your input. I did a quick photoshop of my car with them removed. check it.

it would look okay if your FMIC was black....but its kinda wierd without them. BUt hey, itl perform better so i say do it!

I like it a LOT with the crosshairs removed. Do lots of SRT-4 guys do this? It seem slike a good idea, changes the face of the car in a really good way IMO.

edit: reminds me of when DSM-ers cut out a portion of their front bumper for the i/c, only prettier.

there are a few guys that have done this and i've always had the idea to do it after I got my big frontmount. it'll look downright evil with some eyelids..

here's an example.

ho1ywars · 12-01-2005, 01:06 AM

it looks better with them, that gap is to big.

max2k1 · 12-01-2005, 01:07 AM

**TROLL** · 12-01-2005, 02:10 AM

i know a guy with a red one with big front mount and no crosshairs, it doesnt look bad, but personally i dont like it just not my style, i think it looks better with it.

Bryan, Not really, because the cross hair itself is plastic. lol

IBLIS · 12-01-2005, 09:57 AM

The crosshairs serve no purpose other than looks. Wish I could just try it with them out for a day and put them back on, but this is a one way street.

i don't like the look of the crosshairs, if it were me, I'd buy a used front clip and modifiy it, then keep your stock one for backup...a little more expensive, but better if you want to revert back to stock

smoger · 12-01-2005, 03:16 PM

the only problem is the notch that its gonna leave.. either gonna be ugly up close or cost a bit to get it filled in and painted by a body shop

D Money · 12-01-2005, 03:20 PM

leave the bumper alone! Your car looks so sick bro, without it it just looks to open, i def vote for eyelids...it gives the car an agressive look...remember this one bro...Black ownz!! (so so true)

silver05bullet · 12-01-2005, 03:22 PM

I think it looks better with them in
