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.

 

 

turned out really good IMO.
coolant temps drop any??
i was considering this also.

 

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.

 

Cut it all the way and b like me lOl...

 

Yeah, go all the way. It looks nice though. Any better pictures?

 

no new pictures.

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

 

 

not really diggin' it

 

you should reinforce it or it might end up like my friends rx7

 

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

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

 

nice 7 hypertek.

Damn, that front end looks like ***.

 

haha looks like what i did ... i slipped with the dremel and then just kept hacking away

 

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:

 

BEAUTIFUL RIMS!! I wanted those so bad for my white fc but found a sweet deal on new gram light 57pro's. :/

 

that things hella clean lookin

 

looks clean

 

FC's always good, SC400's good, but tight little teens at Starbucks... Great!
