EG front bumper (forgot to say)

Im planning on running just an OEM front bumper this year. I have been looking on HT seeing some ideas of how people moded the bumper to get more air to the intercooler and as well look decent. Could you guys post pics of your front bumpers to give me more of better idea how to finish mine. my intercooler size in 12x31x3. im look to keep clean looking also. Thanks guys!

 

also have room in there for my pipe and velocity stack..

 

^^i like that

 

I just cut the grill out of mine. Other then that no cutting was done.

 

AFI dual backdoor intercooler

 

^Very nice setup.

 

I agree soooo flawless!

 

Good question! I'm also looking for ideas. What are you guys using to make such nice and clean looking cuts? I would be really happy if mine doesn't turn out looking like garbage!

 

 

I always liked that intercooler

 

I always use a jigsaw, it makes very clean / fast cuts

 

What size is that core TC.

 

NICE!

 

24x12x3

 

I think it wasI think it was a 24 x 12 x 3.5

 

Not the best pic. But you get the idea. IC core size is 24x10x3.5.

My brothers car, precision 600hp IC, 2.5'' piping.

 

Current setup, just trimmed the grill area (Downside is, it covers almost 50% of the surface area of the IC)..


Or you could always stick with the good ole "speed hole" method lol... (old car)

 

Thanks! Looks like I get to go shopping:-)

 

keep them coming guys and maybe gals lol

 

So far I like bads2k's the best...

I know there are some people out there who have done some fancy fiberglass work and tin work... Those are the ones I would like to see!!! I'd love to close off the fog light holes and somehow make the grill flow straight into the IC core like a funnel...

 

more!

 

Thanks man. I hated to cut up the stock bumper in fear it would look bad so i used a couple old wrecked/cracked bumpers first to cut different ways to see what would be most funtional to get air to the whole intercooler and still look decent. I was in the same boat as you just cutting the grill out covered half of the intercooler.

I always use an air cut off tool with a new blade. If i'm doing it on before a paint job it's not a big deal but if i'm trying to do it w/out chipping any paint i tape up and mark where i'm cutting. then take a roloc disc to smooth the plastic out. Pull the tape off and use clear finger nail polish right at the edge to make sure the edges don't chip.

 

I couldn't agree more! The best soo far! really diggin' it!

 

BadS2k what lip is that it fit good with the bumper cut like that.

 

spoon cf...dont know if it's a copy or what...but def looks good!
