Default Custom Bumper Supports

Ok, I want to mount my intercooler, which is 10" tall and still have something to tie the front end together. I was thinking of taking some steel plate and making a custom front bumper support that i could mount my intercooler to. anyone have any ideas or comments for me? maybe some pics to help along with the process?

yea, i was thinking about that, but i dont have a stock front bumper, so it wouldnt really work, 3" off of my bumper support and ive just cut the front off of my bomex bumper. I'm gonna see if maybe it'll squeeze inbetween the bumper and rad support

Cut the center of your factory bumper support out. That should give you the clearance for the intercooler and give some support for your front bumper.

always good to plan ahead, and mock up plans for something you don't even have yet. But anyway take some pics of you chopping up the boxes.
