just hacked up my front bumper to fit my intercooler. and got a little more progress on the swap. going to put in the haltech tomorrow

 

thank you for starting this thread. moar pics!

 

you heard the man...

 

I would like to see pics of the bumpers a few months down the road, taking away large amounts of that flimsy urethane thing looks like it would really warp later on.

I only cut a little bit of mine out.

 

sexy!!!

 

i thought about that, and i am going to make a couple supports to keep it from getting all saggy

 

Zip ties may help.

 

Car is badass

 

agreed

 

love it man, car looks like you have spent millions

 

Here is mine:


Yes, that was a stock bumper.

I'm going Vmount instead of Front mount though. I'm thinking about mounting my oil cooler behind the extra cutout.


Yeah, if your gonna cut large amount of the bumper out it starts to get very flimsy and should be reinforced. Mine has some FG reinforcement.

 

here is mine

 

i am currently working on repainting my front bumper so hope you dont mind it looking tacky right now heh, my IC goes all the way to the top of bumper but i didnt want to cut it out..so im not getting the best airflow....something im still trying to figure out

 

^

 

quick cut out

 

Pure Porno^^^^^^^^^^^

 

Yep, that's an acurate description of what you did to the front bumper.

 

That looks like ****.

 

I would rather cut as far back into the bumper reinforcement then hack up the front bumper until it looks like ***.

This one looks good:

 

Thanks guys, I still need to attach the undertray and install a lower lip to support the middle.

 

when I had mine trimmed like the red car I found it blocked all the air from reaching the undertray

 

i like it

 

You should also get a front lip to help direct the air into the intercooler. Right now it looks like the air would just go under your intercooler. It won't solve the problem of only half the core being exposed to fresh air but it will help what is get more air flow.

 

hes got the peakaboolookatme intercooler setup lol

 

yeah , i want an front lip bad...i know it doesnt look the greatest right now.
hehe thanks hyper...always making fun of me lol
