Default OBX Mounted, everything fits!!
I mounted this thing back enough so that I can still have the majority of my bumper attatched. The main thing I wanted to do was to be able to still clip in the 3 fasteners for the bumper cover under the car. Well it works, I still have to do the cutting on the bumper but will be able to leave whatever I want. Technically I wouldnt have to cut it at all, but that would be dumb cause I would have no air flow. So what you guys think?

Here are some with the bumper on it. You can see how I cut it to keep the holes for the bumper cover.

That looks great! I am planning a FMIC install on my black 1996 Z and those pictures really help out. That is exactly what I wanted to do. That is a very clean install. Lets see some more pictures, but with the bumper cover on!

LOL good one, I keep asking my machine shop that!! Cant seem to get my parts done. Ha nothin new. Thanks for the complements guys I just hope it helps others when puttin one on. I also am not sure weither I am going to have to use fans on the intercooler or not. Pretty much the whole pipe that goes into the intercooler is under the bumper where the bumper cover will bolt to. So the air might just hit the bottom dirrectly enough. Not sure but I will see soon enough. Thanks again

This is totally off topic and i don't mean to hijack the thread but.... did you ever make some Twin Turbo kits? I know you have just about everything from my old one

BTW it looks good. Really clean, you should really consider swapping out the bumper from an LS1 camaro and getting a newer hood oh yeah and you might as well drop an ls1 in there as well I am just kidding but i have seen some LT1 camaros running the LS1 bumper and hood which, to me, looks much better.


You can have your thread back now.
