I'm curious how many of you with front mounts have just taken off the bumper support to fit the i/c. On my rex I'm thinking of just taking it off instead of hacking it all up to fit the i/c. What has everyone else done?

 

took it off

 

I'm going to keep mine on my next setup.

 

take the rear off and leave the front one on.. the rear is the heavy one..
the front one doesnt save that much weight..

 

keep it!

I had to do a lil trimming. Also, wtf is that bigass solid metal shock thing attached behind the composite plastic, I threw mine away! It was quite heavy

 

ummm ALLMOTOR....he wasn't talking about saving weight he was talking about what to do in order to fit his intercooler in there...IMO you should trim it in case you do ever get into a wreck or something it will help a lot believe it or not...i have had my expierence

 

get a reasonable sized IC and leave the support stock. That is what i did. It is safer and doesn't sacrifice much cooling. my core is 2.25x7x26 not really tiny.

 

On crx's it's a pain to fit an i/c w/ the stock bumper support though. I was thinking of hacking it up, but if I sell the car w/ that **** in there...what if the new owner gets in an accident, they discover the fucked up support, and sue my ***. Isn't it mainly designed for low speed accidents?

 

i would keep it on.. it can at least save your car from a minor fender bender..

If the person buys your car is because he/she is also into the sport... so just let them know before hand

 

took it off, but i have an extra front end just in case anything should happen.

 

Ok, just wanted to make sure I wasn't out of my mind. I see a lot of others took theirs off, so mine is coming off. And if I get in a minor fendor bender it'll most probably be totaled anyways, boo hoo Thanks for all the replies

 

ya, my gfs sol got totalled. I bought it back, grabbed a jeep and a chain, and shes straight as an arrow

 

take it off and fabricate aluminium bumper supports at the sides to keep the bumper from flapping. This will not only save weight, make more room for turbo intercooler, keep the asthetics looking stock, make more cool air run through, but will be a fun project.

 

take it off. just be carefull where ya going.

 

Ive still got mine (in my EK) and wouldnt have it any other way. I didnt end up having to chop mine up at all!
