Default What should I use? 07 Screw 5.4

What should I use to cut a hole in my front fascia? I installed a volant CAI with a ram air tube and my truck doesnt have tow hooks so the plastic covers the ram air intake. Any pictures and suggestions?

It will look weird with one side cut and not the other.., best bet would be to get an aftermarket or factory chin spoiler (front bumper lower valance). Any version that accommodates for tow hooks should work.

Anybody have a link to purchase the chin spoiler with slots for tow hooks?

Does anybody think I should leave it as is to avoid sucking dust? It already sucks cooler air from below the engine which has shown already to help with air temps.

Leave it as is. Clean looking, cool air, and it's been proven time after time that Ram air is useless. It does nothing. But it can screw with the Maf. Nice job!
