does that hang below the stock bumper?

i think it will, but only by about 1/2 to 3/4… I’ll just have to get some sort of wacky eurolip

damn that thing is huge

Core is 24X11X3 rated to like 650 or something

Q: does an ic have an input and an out put? (i would think is dosent)
so on to
Q: would you have more room. if you inverted it? bottom to top, the way that it is fixed now?

Even if it’s in and out specific, turn it and then flip it, you’d get the same results. Good idea.

A: This particular intercooler is non directional. In fact, I don’t know of any ICs that appear symmetrical on the outside, but aren’t on the inside, but there very well could be.

A: Inverting it would aim the I/O directly at the bumper support shocks. In the second last picture, you can see the holes where they insert into.

I will be there sunday, I think.

looks closer and closer to be being done man can’t wait to c it looks great :tup:

good time to get plastic bumpers…

meh.

i am starting to like the metal bumper look. It has a more vintage-y look to it, which i think is cool. I have this retro modern thing going on.

Besides, 350 bucks for plastic bumpers? + tons of labor to get the rear to fit?

Sorry, not interested. Maybe if someone had an OEM front paired with an aftermarket rear… MAYBE…

then spend the same amount and get euro bumpers

i’d rather spend zero, because i’m happy with what i have.

Mmm… steel bumpers such a rarity nowadays. :slight_smile:

probably intentional by you since you <3 the 'maros…but without any lights or grills it reminds me of this
