custom front bumper: what ya think

stock minus the grill inlay

and modified

now before u guys go all off on me lol its justa photoshop for now,
the reason for doing this is well theres 2 reasons

#1 i have a large front mount intercooler and doing this would get me alot more air to pass over it.
#2 as above this will also allow more air to get to my radiator as well

i like it thgough once its done u will see my intercooler mounted up behind it so it wont be all black.

the onyl other problem i can thing of would be i need to find another place to mount my front liscence plate

Mount it right off the front spoiler on the right or left side under the parking lamps....IDK I would do something like that. As for the way this looks....I think the intercooler will look awesome...especially if your not going for a sleeper look...obviously.

Re: custom front bumper: what ya think

im pretty sure in ny your plate has to be on the bumper . the cop that pulled me over for having the plate on the dash also brought up the point of having a 12 inch razor blade flying around inside the car if anything were to happen

He's going to look like he's smiling at you . Just make sure you support the bottom with something, I have seen some 4th gens do that, and the bottom starts to sag after a while.

I forget where I got this pic, but its the same concept just with an intercooler. I think it looks great.
