Hmmmm.. I don't want the R model valance, but I also don't want to cut the front of the car up.

You might be able to design some vents that mount behind the bumper but pull air from the underside of the bumper.

I'm shooting for 250-275 rwhp. I think that can easily be done.

The 200 is a great engine, but not my style.
