a little custom work on the front...very functional for turbo cars with oem bumpers!

Posted already in the Media Share section, but thought it would benefit the FI guys with big intercoolers and oem bumper if I posted here as well.
So many of you know my engine tends to run on the hot side. Sam@GTM has fixed that already with stronger fans, and I have pretty much all the cooling mods one can get.
When I was detailing my car one day, I saw that the oem bumper "cups" into where the intercooler would go, thus not letting any air go over the thick intercooler that I have with the extreme kit, into the Koyo radiator. So...getting the idea from the widebody Esprit kit in Japan, here's what I did...
Lowers my water temp by about 2-5 degrees celcius!
Just a small teaser of a pic...

Clean job! I've seen a similar idea on James Chen car when it was at JP prior to an event. I was surprised on how well it turned out as well. Great for a cheap/functional mod that is free!

Overzealous did kind of the same thing with his setup for his greddy TT intercooler a long time ago. I think it would be great if someone mad an OEM style front bumper with a taller opening for taller intercoolers.
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?

very close...what you see is 8 liters of water/meth 
I want more pics, I know the stock plastic front bumper cover is easy to cut but how did you do it? On my air duct a utility knife did well, with a heat gun it cut very easily. Id still be scared to mess up!
