Default An EK and a FMIC: a love story

Gather around boys and girls I have a few questions while my bank account is still in the positive integers. Today I scored a 96+ EK hatchback for 1200 bucks. The front bumper and support had been removed as they were damaged. Monday the new radiator support should be in and I'm wondering what the general concensus on putting the bumper support back on would be. Am I going to have clearance issues with the intercooler w/ the support back on? Or just suck it up and drive around w/o a support.

40% street use
58% autox
2% track events

dude keep it on....those things help tremendously in crashes. even if they are trimmed slightly for the intercooler to fit. believe me if you get in a crash you want all the protection you can get to prevent that other car from crushing through your firewall and crushing your legs.
