oh im sorry, i re read your post and its an fc oil cooler, never knew they looked like that. I thought it was an ebay baby intercooler lol. since ive never thought about this, does the fc oil cooler work as well as dual coolers? That would allow you to make some convenient ducting for your intake for where your other cooler would have gone.

anyway to clarify... if you look at the bottom of your vents, they are cut straight across, i think it might look better if you mimicked the flow of the bumper opening. Look at the bottom of what i ps'd and you can see its curved, while yours are straight across.

yes im a wanna beeee love RE amemiya's stuff. dont love their price lol....


the fc oil cooler is paired with the stock oil cooler so it is a dual oil cooler system.

the reason behind choosing the fc oil cooler is because of its huge capacity and size. it is easily one of teh best stock oil coolers ever made. search around NUMEROUR cars use it, miatas, trucks etc.

the point of putting it in the center was to leave the pass duct open to route an air duct to my intake as stated a few pages back

jose a. man up and make abuild thread. or picture thread called the jose a show!!!

you didnt want to deal with JKL? Ill be contacting them for the RE-A gt wing.

Thanks for the FC oil cooler info, its definitely something i want to look into now. Perfect for routing air to intake.

i dont want an re bumper. you cant just get the bumper. it looks weird. you need the whole kit.

research jkl, and then see if you still want to order from them....

ehh its not everyones cup of tea but thankss

better pic of the bumper and with the 99 spec lip test fitted (because its a pos knock off!)


now as far as aero i have
scoote hood
99spec plateless bumper
99 spec lip
99 spec skirts
feed side skirts under 99spec skirts
eventually a diffuser
maybe 99 spec spoiler

originally i was going to black the feed skirts and 99 spec lip. now im thinking of having them white as well.. too much? thoughts? i really love this pic with the 99 spec lip painted white... and if thats all whtie might as well make the feed skirt white since its the only thing not white lollllll

^^ awesome. i think they look great from a high view but eye level with the skirt they look wierd. my biggest concern is the "hump" on the feed skirts. i dont like how that shows between the two of them... maybe ill jus fg my own skirts without the hump......... ughh time and money pit.

pic from when i first got the side skirts when they were still in primer form..




couldddddddd be interesting!
