Nice pics. I'd be pretty leary of a non-reinforced silicone elbow though.

What kind of time and money do you guys have in the fab work of the intercooler setup..

Are you putting the BAT in the back
Where are you getting the pipes

Is there another way to get air to the FMIC without cutting the bumper like that?

My bumper is held in w/ the same bolts it was before. The only thing that kept the nose from deflecting before was the styrofoam under it. I epoxied some thin aluminum reinforcement ribs to the back of the new bumper to make it a little more rigid.

My battery is in the back...no choice for me. Better weight distribution anyway.

Some early pics of my new nose...

The idea is the same, but I've had some fiberglass panels added to the bottom and the top to seal off the intercooler. Should work really well.

Who's? I think mine still looks like ****.

For cutting, an X-acto knife heated w/ a lighter does wonders to urethane. That's how I trimmed my rear bumper too.

I got a friend who does a lot of fiberglass body work...he's doing the rest of the work. I need to get pics of it. It's still kinda rough, but looks good.
