Anyone ever heard of putting a gt3 front smile vent on a regular bumper?
Any pics or methods.?

 

I love the smile! At least one vendor sells them with a jig to cut out your bumper, but the idea of doing that scares the heck out of me. I know that there are possible airflow issues, unless you also have a third radiator and special ducting, a la GT3. I'm also very interested I seeing any responses to your post. I'm a sucker for a nice smile.

 

It's been done. Google it.

 

PM JoelPireli. I think he has a template that he loans out to members

 

is this what you are looking for? A lot of owners have bought and installed this kit with much success. Good company also. (No affiliation)

Cab with GT3 bumper

 

That doesn't look too weird to me!

Not at all.

 

I think this is what you are lookin for. This is the Rennline Gt3 smile kit I installed on my car. It does require removal of the front bumper and cutting a hole but is not difficult when using their template. It just take a lot of careful measuring.

 

@Kustom64 - I think the smile looks great on your car with the stock bumper cover. What lower spoiler have you added?

 

That's the GT3-Tek lower lip spoiler. I also left it unpainted since my car is lowered I know it would get scraped up bad really quick

 

So the bumper must be removed?

 

Yes the bumper must be removed. But it is not difficult. I did it without a lift and took about 30 minutes
