Front Bumper - Grill

Doing a TT mod with a SBC 460ci swap. I need as much air to cool down the engine and the turbos as I can get. I was thinking of cutting out the entire front porting where it sais "Camaro" on the front bumper. However I'm not sure what to do after. I'm looking for a muscle front look and not RICE intercooler look!

Any ideas or PIC's!!!

Billet grill perhaps? I don't know if that will allow enough air flow for your setup but it'll look good.

I've seen that done before, where the center part is cut out completely except for 4 spots to attach the billet grille to. Didn't look bad at all.

I like the intercooler look, plus if its on the front of a Camaro, I'm pretty sure its not gonna be rice lol.

Maybe a black painted IC?
Never seen that before but it just popped into my head.

Yeah I though about painting it black, its still an option. I have that tubilar bumper too so I have planty of room so I could install the intercooler as close to the bumper cover as I can. These bumper covers are just way too deep and the look isn't soo hot.

I looked into these grills and there are so many fake ones out there...
