        Indeed, will be getting some black radiator paint

        Though a friend may have a hookup on anodizing it!

          Did you check if it could get anodized?

            Quick mock up, followed by the good stuff!

            Posted Image

            Nice fit, but the valance needs work!

            Started off with some smaller cuts

            Posted Image

            Made a few extra cuts for better flow,

            Posted Image

            Posted Image

            ended up with that!

            Fits very well!

            Posted Image

            And just to see what it would look like all tucked in there!

            Posted Image

            I quite like it!

                28x9x2.75

                Not being able to get a bumper off sucks, and any other way sucks hardcore.

                Take off the bumper skin yet?

                      Damn. Mine is like 26x10x3. This will be fun. And no I haven't. I'm basically spending this entire winter break in my garage. Should be fun.

                        It will fit, its just going to take a bit of massaging of the valence. Get out the grinder!

                          thats some tidy fitment. Kudos for not resorting to mounting it in front of the valance, that always looks turrible

                            I can't stand it in front of the valence! It's all about the stealth.

                                    Just a heads up that I will hopefully be copying you so hard with the intercooler placement/size.

                                          In lieu of having a snow day I decided to do some work!

                                          Started off by fabing up a intercooler mount, it is a bolt on piece because I didn't want to weld onto the body for it, and it actually ended up being easier to mount it this way!

                                          Posted Image

                                          Looks simple but silly things like that take a long time to make! Will be painting all of it soon.

                                          Then took out my windshield because I had some bubbling under the paint on the drivers side A pillar, which was really bothering me. I have never taken out a windshield before, but dang is it easy!

                                          Was greeted by this!

                                          Posted Image

                                          Nice hole, and the bubbling is all still in there....

                                          And then on the passenger side there was a bit of bubbling going on. It didn't look too bad, but wrong again!

                                          Posted Image

                                          I think I will be cutting these pieces out of good shells and welding them into the car, so I needed to do one more thing to ensure that it would be easy.

                                          Posted Image

                                          Bye Bye dash! Actually wasn't too bad to take out!

                                          And here is another shot of the A pillar rust, from an odd angle of course!
