i thought the purpose of the OEM holes were to cool off the breaks.

dubsesd also added the circular ones on the bottom grills for increased brake cooling.

Directing airflow to the tires (OEM) doesn't cool off the brakes. Adding vents that are directed to the actual rotors, will.

Did you paint or wrap your front bumper and add the Mstache? I'm thinking of getting the M-bumper for my Z and doing the same thing. I think it would look awesome on my alpine white Z.

Dub I think about the last thing you could do cosmetically is a spoiler. Any plans on adding one?

You can CF wrap that part of your bumper and lip that's painted black.

Yes, pleeeeease dont wreck the trunk with the little tacky OEM spoiler. It does nothing but interrupt the flowing lines of the muscleback trunk.
