Wow, looks like great install work. Nice job to your fabber!

Time to cut out the black portion of your bumper's center opening?

The way we installed the intercooler was to butt it up very close to the underside of the bumper support with plenty of clearance in front of it. This makes a high pressure area while the car is moving which will push air through the upper part of the intercooler that is not visable from the front.

Cool! How did you decide to put the bumper support directly on the IC?

I assume that you didn't want to go wider because you wanted to keep the stock fogs instead of going aftermarket.... or is there another reason?

Any cooling issues?

Looks great man!

Well it's not directly on it, there's about a 1/4 inch gap at the top. Really came down to making sure the core didn't hang too low on the car. The tight fit at the top was just a benefit. Yeah, I wanted to keep the fog lights (it is a street car). I like keeping the outside appearance as stock looking as possible. Other than the FMIC and the exhaust it looks like any other 2g with nice wheels and tint. This core is supposed to work really well and I didn't want the end tanks to be too shallow/tight to the core. I wanted the air flow to make a smoother transition from the pipes to the core. Drove it home yesterday, no signs of overheating at this time.

Cool, sounds alot like my brother his car is all stock on the outside other then the IC, hood, and painted center tail light piece.

He went with a different IC that is longer and used driving lights mounted in the fog light holes.

Very nice! I like the end tank design, definitely better than a lot of the mass-produced models out there.
