Adding upper grille to bumper Options

[Tyglon]

Wondering if many have cut an upper grille into their bumper between the high beams? I've found one member here who's done it. Any advice on doing it? Like how to make the cuts nice/straight? Thinking maybe only a small one like the Lexus SC300 from mid/late 90's. Or even approximately a GT4 size. I have the bumper off the car to get it repainted and would like to cut the opening before its painted. Advice from anyone who does custom body work... I don't know how to lay fiberglass, so it'll probably endup as just an opening or maybe mesh behind it. Thank you.

Just my opinion (you know what people say about opinions...) but adding an upper grille to the regular bumper doesn't look good. Check out the Booster Tuning grille for ideas. The reason Malpaso's looks good is because he took the entire center section and molded it into his facelift bumper, so that it lined up with a GT4 hood. Leaving the stock hood just doesn't work. Again, just my opinion, and I'm not knocking the idea. Just providing more information so you can see the different ways to add a grille and decide which you like best.
