Default Front bumper - Open mouth or normal ?

I've got a std 90 spec and a open mouth 90 spec front bumper but I really don't know what to go for ?

It's for my RST track car

What do you all reckon ?

Open mouth 90 spec looks the tits and will give you better airflow

who cares about looks for track, you want functionality and open mouthed would be better for air flow/cooling so DO IT

Adam, the look of yours is subtle, which is good

Leave it alone, it serves it's purpose

Thanks for your positive support Daddy long legs !

Unfortunally, my open mouth front bumper is looking a bit a sorry for itself


Oil cooler isn't being mounted where that gap is now so need to fill it somehow
