Default how do your support the nose?

how are you guys bracing the nose after you remove the front bumper support thing to put the intercooler there.

I'm not right now, I've heard eventually you will have problems if you don't. Less than 15 passes on my setup though, it doesn't see a lot of race time because I've had some bad luck breaking stuff

No support here, it still attaches at the middle & sides, I cut out the center for airflow. There's not much weight in what's left. Car has about 400 miles & 40 or so passes since I did it. You could probably tie it to the bottom of the IC.

That's exactly how I cut my front. Attached the bottom of the bumper to the radiator support bracket with 2 zip ties (redneck....but works great). After three months of daily driving I've had no issues.
