Front mounted Intercooler GTA

Anyone who has a pict of a TA thirdgen with a similar installation or could do some photoshop, it would be good to have a front mounted IC....

I've seen that car before, and sure it can be done, but how should the design of hole in the front be like to make it look good?

pics? ideas?

it's the problem w/ the birds design, they don't allow for a good source of air for aftermarket intercoolers. How well could it cool just by using the airdam as teh radiator uses? If you're going to manufacture your own front end anyway, more power to you, but i think it might look a little off. If doing your own front is up your alley though, make a play off the early model second gen split bumper, would give a good look ,and more than adaquate airflow.

i added to a photoshop someone else did (they did the headlights, i did the foglight pockets)... I guess you could try doing something like this to make room for two small FMIC's like those that come with the ATI procharger...
