Redone EPP frontmount Well I have my car apart to get it painted, while its all in pieces I went ahead and redid my fmic kit so that there is a front support to replace the section cut out to fit the intercooler. Just posting some pics to give others ideas.

maybe ten pounds. im less concerned with a few pounds then having good reinforcement in case of a front end collision. this is a daily driver car.

I dont want to talk down on anyone's work but how you made the three pieces of square tubing connect w/ the welds i will break in an accident because you did a filler weld which is not strong the least bit.
Also think about if some how you hit a pole or something of that nature... Right through the tube, or crush the stamped sheetmetal its attached to?

I'd say it will help in minor collisions, nicely done. Bob
