so u are asking if that would look good if you cut the bumper to fit a big intercooler in there?

if thats the case, that is pretty tasteful. go with it.

That shot looks very good. Do you have another pic (different angle)?

Yes i wanted to know if others thought that looked good. I also did it in case anyone else was thinking about doing this to their car, but wanted a picture to get an idea of what it would look like.

Sorry i cant do better photo stuff. Its just photodeluxe that came with my cd rom. Id be happy to do another angle, but id have to have an intercooler pic that had a similar angle. Basically this is what your car would look like with the greddy FMIC and a cut bumper (sans the blank spots on either side where the pipes SHOULD be). I think im going to get a used bumper and try cutting/sanding it to this design. Hopefully it will look nice like the picture!

i still say it's unnecessary, but whatever. putting the I/C that far forward isn't that good of an idea thoguh...

Yea thats why my intake and coolant temps dropped dramatically. Where else are you going to put a FMIC if you dont put it there?

up against either of the radiators. then run some ducting to them. you'll get a nice charge effect for your intercooler.

If you sit it next to the radiator its going to heat soak the FMIC when you arent moving.

if they're touching it will. and if you have an a/c condenser it wouldn't heat soak anything. heat goes up, not forward.
