I'm not a fan of vents for the sake of vents. ie not functional. I initialy was thinking the small low openings on the bar were just that. after some more thought I reckon the lower vents may actually help duct air past a big front mount intercooler.

the other vents next to the oil-cooler openings look less functional but I'd probably fit the fog lights in them anyway.

I guess they're not complete yet! It seems like they take 1 step forward, and then go back 2 steps. Hopefully it'll be done soon..

Looks better but they can still clean it up some more. I would like to see them remove the other two small openings, reduce the oil cooler ducts a bit and smooth out the lower lip.

Bump! I thought the car was going to be complete in time for the 2010 Auto Messe Show, which is this weekend.

Looking better but still not liking the lower profile. I think it would look so much better if the lower lip went all the way around the bumper.

since they removed the other two holes it really looks familiar.. it has the same layout, but it is quite different. much more angular.

i like it a lot.

Bump! It seems that things have slowed down due to their other project (2009+ Honda Insight) that's also under developement for a new body kit. Hopefully the body kit will be complete sometime soon.
