The car looks great! But where are the functional brake ducts? If you cut out the two pieces around the center grill, you've still got the inner fender liners blocking air from the brakes

I don't ask in jest, I am getting ready to redo my front bumper and might want to do this as well

The hard parts that I sculpted out of foam and cast in fiberglass are connected to the flexable brake/cabin vent 3" hose- connected to a bracket that I hard mounted (after cutting) into the wheel well liner. This directs the air right at the front brake rotor dust cover. Does it work? I dunno yet. Do I care, naww... but it LOOKS like it wold work...
I just have a thing with "fake vents/scoops" that are blocked off and dont do anything.

No, you need to shave the leading edges of your bumper frame. The "nipples" are a side effect of not shaving...you don't actually shave the nipples themselves off.
