So it is theoretically possible to make an aftermarket bumper cover that uses a body coloured panel to cover the structural bumper element. This would visually split the front and bottom grill elements without affecting airflow.
Really? I didn't notice that. Can you send a best picture possible to see that? I'm very curious. I believe aftermarket is the only thing that can save this cars.
