T/A with Firebird front clip, intercooler? Opinions please!
I've been toying around with the idea of turbocharging my Trans Am for years, and I think it's about time to get to it. Anyways, the thought had occured to me to use a Firebird front clip and cut it out enough for the whole intercooler to be exposed, and still have the fog lights off to the side. I'm just not sure it would look right on a Trans Am. Any thoughts?
If not I'm going to use the stock piece and keep the fog lights anyways. Don't want to get rid of them.

Yeah that's what I'll do if I decide against it. The whole idea of the Firebird front end was to allow maximum exposure of the intercooler with a big hole cut in it. I'm sure it would make some difference.
Oh, and Justin...I was looking for opinions on how this would look, and looking at your car doesn't make me feel any better about mine!

Hey ZL1killer, heres the measurements that i stole right off your thread lol using it for my intercooler setup.
Max is roughly 20" between the fog lights with out having to fab mounts on the intercooler for the lights.
20x13x3
is the basis for what im sticking around. Ebay accually has a lot of sizes around that size. slightly smaller with 18x13x3 but thats pretty freakin close without having to fabricate your own.

I kinda like the way the hole shows off the intercooler. But, wouldn't it be good for a car that gets driven a lot to have some sort of screen over it for protection?
