Front Bumper (with intercooler) pic's
 
Hey guys not quite sure if there has been a thread like this if so sorry for repetition. I have always wanted to get a D1SC for my car but my main turnoff for it is I love how the front bumper of the WS6 looks and don't want to change it. Many people take the fog lights out and the license plate for the intercooler and I just really dislike how that looks. I know camaro's have it easy with their grille there. Anyone have pic's of good T/A front bumpers (maybe custom) that look good with intercooler or maybe custom vette front ends as well?? Thanks :D

If you don't like the look of a FMIC just go with the Procharger twin intercoolers

If that doesnt look bad ass I don't know what does. Picture courtesy of Superman09

i LOVE how these cars look with front mounts showing through. intimidating looking of ya ask me!

00T/AWS6 Dec 17, 2008 12:35 PM

Don't get me wrong I love how that looks but I love my fog lights and don't like the holes there. I was thinking of getting one where there was a rectangular cut in the middle for the FMIC and then move the fog lights to the sides of that. I was just wondering if anyone had done a custom job on their bumper for it. Thanks for the pic, looks good! Wouldn't twin intercoolers run into the same problem then??

i need to post a pic....my fog lights are not functional...trimmed the brackets and they are actually velcrod to the intercooler....yes i said it :) they look stock though and i yank them off at the track

frcefed98 Dec 17, 2008 02:07 PM

quite a few guys have retained their fog lights without resorting to velcro.(not a slam)

It takes making some brackets to remount them closer to the front of the fog light hole, but after that is done it looks like they are still in the stock location.

i am not that creative and didnt use the fog lights functionally before anyway. Good to know he has at least 2 options :)

frcefed98 Dec 17, 2008 02:29 PM

No. I've got twin intercoolers and fog lights.

I didn't save the fog lights.
1. i didn't want to run a smaller ic, and sacrafice performance by keeping the foglights, and 2 i didn't really care and never used them. But i believe i could of easily slide the ic back another inch or two, and made some brackets, and the oem foglights would of still worked.

Has any one kept there fog lights in?

Zeke34 Dec 17, 2008 06:42 PM

I can't find his thread but look up ZL1KILLA, he did an STS setup and ran an FMIC unit that allowed him to still be able to run his Foglights in their oem location.

Holy small pictures.

I like the look of the FMIC better then the mesh, but nice job.

Chris

00T/AWS6 Dec 17, 2008 09:22 PM

thanks glad to see i'm not the only one feeling this way on the topic haha. Will the license plate hole be enough for the FMIC or does it need more room?? I was under the assumption that it needed more room hence this thread problem. I think the mesh looks good, very different, hides it if going for sleeper look :D

Sideways240sx Dec 17, 2008 09:24 PM

At lower boost levels front plate should be ok, but its hard to say. Depends on your setup, just watch your iat's.
