So i was wanting to do something new to my front plastics, as theyre kinda plain right now. But i dont want to lose my headlight, so i couldnt get a full hood. I think a hood + factory headlights would look way to clusterd and ugly, but i was thinking about possibly cutting scoops into my stock plastic, similar to fullbore's, but maybe just one wider scoop around the same place. I was just curious if anyone had done this, or could give me any tips or info on how to. thanks.

one thing u could do is ditch the head light, get the hood u want and get the trail tech lights that attach to ur frame.

you can cut your front plastic, raise it and plastic weld scoops or designs into it. Search a long time ago, it's been done.

yep found it.
doesn't look too good IMO, a bit too clusterd
but what id like to do is possibly like cut out two spots vertically then one across horizontantly, then bend (dk how flexible itd be but possibly heat the plastic to bend it) and buy like a grill type thing, similar to a quadtech hood atleast size wise, and like poprivit it in there. ive gotta spare set of old cut yellows i might attempt it on. or instead of the single scoop, make six cuts, and form two small scoops similar to fullbore. oh and either of the scoops would have similar placement of the full bore.
