a little detail work on the front...functional for turbo cars!
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...

thats awsome, looks clean, and best thing is its functional. PROPS.
Whats funny is I thougth about doing something kinda like this today. (just to look cool since I lake turbos) But saw a vid on youtube some drift chicks z. Had two cutouts of the oem bumper that kinda resembled the c-west kit. It looked good as well.
Anyway sorry for the tangent. LOOKS SICK. would like more pics if you got them.
