It looks good, although I wonder if rocks and junk will expose the aluminum.

Is that a stock front end and you cut the bumper to give it more air through the main opening or is it an aftermarket bumper?

I'v allways heard that you should paint intercoolers with oil-based paint. Enamal based paints(high temp ones) decrease the effectivness of the intercooler.

ha ha thanks eveyone and thanks sean ... i got the car almost completly tuned !!! wow !!! that turbo made me *** !!!!21 psi ... = wet dreams!! ha ha

and about the paint on the ic ... im not really sure its hurting anything,,and the only reason i did paint it was to draw less atenetion .. there only small even coats on it ... not anything that will clog them ... and if i do get a few chips then thanks god im can afoord the black paint !! (* actually only have ebought to buy about 1 or 2 more bottlest then i wont be able to afford **** ! ) ha ah jk jk

yeah and it is a stock cutout bumper .. juats made a pamflate on cardboard to the shape i wanted and then then traced them over tape section on the opening of the bumper and fliped it over to get the same shape and wham cut it out with a air body saw ... pretty easy ... and this mod was only to increase air-flow !! wasent looking for the body kit look ....

and about the front light ... i love the way it looks .. just make sure you give the right away !! and neve ever turn in front of a on coming cop !!!!


and ill take a few more pics pretty soon .... thanks everyone ...

I love the stock cut-out on the front bumper. I now know that I am definately going to do mine the same way. I wanted to before, but I couldn't find any good pics of other cars with it done this way. Keep us posted on those dyno numbers.
