Cut my bumper up to get more air to my FMIC.

I decided to cut a big slot in the rub strip, and then cut the fins out of the center of the grill.

I think it turned out pretty well. I also mounted my bumper with brakets, since I'd been using zipties for the last 3+ years, because my brakets broke when I took them off the first time. I drilled out the old studs, and welded bolts in their place to act as new studs.


anyways, here it is.

when I get it off the jackstands, I'll post up if there's any improvement.

before it moves another inch it's getting new wheelstuds, a rollcage, and new brakes all around.

no new pictures.

noticable drop in coolant temps, I'd say this helped a ton.

hasn't moved yet, it's been a year

I do agree however that re-inforcing it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Personally I think being able to see the fmic after the fins is gross, but to each his own. The OP has that figured out. I can just see the bumper getting mangled to what hypertek's turned out to be.

I think this hack job worked out pretty good:
