Someone who was a lot of experience working with FRP could easily fill in that vent.

Those bumpers are made of polyurethane, which I think is more desired...
I wonder how hard it would be to fill in that nose grill.

GT3Tek also quoted me a good deal on sideeskirts. If I go with them, I save $500 in the end. All that matters is whether or not I can fill in that stupid hood vent/nose grill. The less money I spend here, the more money I can save for other things. Sigh, decisions decisions.

I've called and verified with SouthFloridaDismantler (the ebay one). They can make me a fiberglass non-vent for $1200. Or I could go with a polyurethane (better) for $1300 which includes side skirts (but has the vent).

If it costs less than $500 to fill in that nose vent and to do it RIGHT, I'd be totally for it. Polyurethane is awesome.

Just remember, polyurethane is awesome when it fits correctly ! When it doesn't - you're SOL ! Anyway, personally I'd leave the bumper alone and live with the vent. Over time you'll probably grow to like it.
