thanks guys. I didn't do it myself. Had the body shop do it while it was in for repainting the front bumper due to rock chips, that's why it was cheap/free. I could probably measure and draw out a template or something if someone really like how it was done...

oh and no I don't have a front brace because the APS Extreme intercooler is way too thick.

Thanks bro. I tried to keep it aligned with the oem lines...like the ouside edges of the 2 side slits, they actually run parallel with the headlight lines towards the middle of the car.

Alberto: I went out to a meet today but forgot my camera. GTNPU Z got a bunch of pics I'm sure he'll post up later tonight or tomorrow.

You did a great job with that. Giving me some ideas. If you do make some templates of it I'm sure I and several others would be willing to pay some cash for a clean set up like that.

Really though, it looks awesome Alex, I know all about that huge 5" Intercooler I might do something similar to my TS front bumper.

Hows the car running?

Take care,

Thanks G.

Car's running well. Just a little hard to heat up the clutch on normal day to day driving and if I suddenly want to push it a bit.

How's your car coming along? We need to party again...

Yea I know about the warming up, but as soon as it does its great! I will be running the same setup in my car.

Should be done soon (I hope) build has drastically changed from original plan. Will be doing a 4.1L kit (3.8 crank with 100mm pistons) and rev it to 8k+ RPMs, Just ordered a Nismo Oil Pump and having it air freighted from japan.

When are you coming down again? Let me know there are some sick events going down for the summer.

Take care, hope to see you soon.

Also, what is that in the reflection? Looks like a couple of bottles of moonshine. Are you saying we have to be drunk while doing this?
yup, i am actually in the process of making a new one at the moment that will be strengthened on the back side and will be thicker on the cut out area to give depth to the openings. i have to run a front bumper licence plate and the wind pressure and hot temps made mine bend auckwardly over time. post pics when done.
