I took a couple inches off the bottom via dremel tool. This was just enough to reveal the last 2.5/3 rows of I/C that had previously been blocked by the front bumper cover. I also took a small section out of the sides in order to make it look uniform. This also opened up some room for air to travel around the sides of the I/C endtanks. I then finished it off with some sand paper to take away the barbs left by the cutting. Let me know what you think whether it is positive or negative feedback.......

Took me a minute too. Then i read the post.

 

Body work........my new venture. I can tackle big aluminum wings, huge body kits, shaving, molding, and altezza installs with confidence now. lol I'm not into the whole appearance thing, so this is a first for me and a first to make a thread in this section. I usually can be found in FI, classifieds, and sometimes EG+ secitions. I would like to do cosmetic stuff like CF hood, CF lip, rear Si lip, color matched sideskirts, etc or even a Domani conversion, but that would have been money that could have gone to making the car faster.

Doh! lol

 

Looks good Scott. for functionality!

 

...cool

 

Ya, I double looked at it, then read, then looked for a third time. Then i meditated for about 5 hours staring at the pics printed out, and took a nap, and then I figured it out. Nice job though.

 

nice work scott

 

Thanks, guys. Yes, it may look cool, but, again, the only reason I did it is for functionality. That is what I am all about.

Btw, this has to be the most actively viewed forum because I've gotten way more responses in this section than in other sections where I have posted.

Subway commercial:
"One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong. Can you tell me which thing is not like the other by the time I finish my song?"

Yup, that was lame. lol

 

j00 bet j00r *** it is!
A/C = teh win

 

i did that with my se-r, then the bumper cracked in the middle from the flex. i would advise you to put a lip on it, it will hold it together so it wont split.

 

lookin good...kinda like the clothes you left in my car.

 

Thanks. My ***** *** needs to keep up with my clothes. lol

Wasn't that hard once you read up on it and measured everything accordingly, was it? Fun times

I see what you're saying, but this wasn't a huge amount taken. Very suttle, as you can tell by people's responses.

 

looks good. would like to see a front lip

My friend picked up a CF hood and lip for somewhere around $475. That is how much I am about to spend on a new manifold and 3" DP.
