Anyway im looking to see pics of pignose bumpers with the center peice cut out, and along with that if anyone ever completely did away with the two fake grills? I guess like filled or "shaved" them. Im contemplating buying a pignose front end tonight because im hurting money wise and i need a front end among some other things to get my car back on the road. I really would like to save up for the silvia but right now, with the possibility of being jobless every other week i dont think thats possible. So yeah anyway you guys can post up some pics of what im looking for? or know if shaving the fake grills have ever been done?

edit: something like this maybe?

looks like fc3s to me for some reason...

lol as you can see in the picture it has infact been done before. also i don't understand what you guys are saying when you say leave the stock bumper stock, thats like saying leave the stock car stock. now what if you're like me just recently finished a CA swap and have an intecooler to big to even fit behind your bumper support? well ya throw out your bumper support measure up the dimensions of your intercooler and cut a nice square hole in the bottom. but covering up the fake vents looks kind of lame, my buddy took em out and then put actual metal mesh in there, looks 100 times better

but now his grill is sitting on the floor of my daily driver, after i found it on a dirt road he was driving on.

saleaf · 06-28-2011, 01:46 PM

like this? This is my old pig nose. Its still sitting in my garage.

project-D180 · 06-28-2011, 01:53 PM

does look like a rotory car but i like it

slowvia · 06-28-2011, 01:54 PM

^^
That kinda reminds me of the old Avanti's.

TwItCh · 06-28-2011, 03:16 PM

It doesnt look to bad, but if I wanted to get rid of the vents I would just go chuki.

As you cant see in the picture, it was photoshopped.

ACTUAL METAL MESH? Whoa bro.

ZilviaKid · 06-28-2011, 03:39 PM

i added 2 lower intakes in mine, one for side mount, and one for oil cooler

looks cool imo

future · 06-28-2011, 03:49 PM

Where did yoou get thoes vents!?

ryandriftingfat · 06-28-2011, 04:06 PM

Stock for stock I think the chuki bumper looks like a bag of dicks. And don't get me started on people that put zenki lips on the chuki / silvia bumpers. I also remember someone cut out the pig nose vents, and that looked like a bag of used assholes.

vent opening widened, center post removed, JDM bumper support trimmed to fit in front of fmic.

newtonty · 06-28-2011, 10:44 PM

actually that doesnt look as bad as i thought, i just started my bumper today, got a little carried away. have the ic sitting 8 inches from the rad support and it required alot more cutting then i expected, it is now more hole than bumper :P whatever its a drifter.

godrifttoday · 06-28-2011, 10:50 PM

at that point just tak off that bumper

bigs · 06-28-2011, 10:59 PM

Damn that's ugly

95KA-Turbo · 06-28-2011, 11:11 PM

Pig nose front ends are awesome, its just most of the people who have them don't have any money or style so their cars look like complete garbage.

Here's an example of the complete opposite:

That's an R32 lip btw.

That looks B.A.!!!! I used to hate piggy front ends until I owned one, now I love it! I cut out my fake vents and noticed a considerable temp. drop on the highway! Im planning on running my oil cooler for the supercharger behind the new openings. Oil cooler fits perfectly!

95KA-Turbo do you know what wheels are in those pics?

redhatchy92 · 06-29-2011, 12:30 PM

ive always wanted to cut out the little fake grill and do a ram air system similar to the one found in the ws6. i wanna do it clean and oem looking though. as many i didnt like pig nose at all until i got one.
95ka-turbo i really like the r32 lip i might look in to that.

That looks like shit. Looking worse than a bucktooth Miata. Rattle can that lip white, it would help somewhat.

Whats up with you and bags of male body parts and excrement?

You have some serious issues dude.
