Yo, Jaime, check out my statistics page on my Squareback then you'll know why I'm doing this, otherwise I totally agree with you :) <chime, new mail> Yes, Doug is correct in that message he just posted. As for Doug, duhh, I didn't even think about the bumper! That would be a good idea though the bumper would get hot and providing air into it wouldn't be that difficult or an eye-sore. You are correct, though, I don't have my bumpers on and they won't be going on since I've had the fender dimples smoothed over. Thanks for the input!
