Default Front Mount Installed PICS

I was not sure exactly sure how people were mounting there front mounts so I kinda fabricated something from what I had at home. I did not want to spend the money to get a specially made mount so I came up with this. Let me know what you think! Give me the pros and cons.

That's about what most people do as far as your mounting locations. A lot of people use the same pipe routing as you did or they(like myself) use a "U" exiting the intercooler and run pipe in front of the condesor to the intake through the rad. support.(I'll post pic later)

Looks good. Provide pics when it's all back together

how bout those foglights? Any provisions to connect up the bottom of the bumper too? And what size is that unit?

I think you should get a 90* silicone off the pass side of the IC, looks like your current setup is getting a little stretched.

Yup looks good!! Basically what I did! Just take the stock bumper and make it a bracket!! But I did leave the bottome of the bumper attatched so I could bolt my bumper cover back up to it!!

I am not really worried about fog lights, I was actually thinking about selling them. I am getting ready to cut out the front plate for the air flow and will just use those spots for that also.

Also i think that it looks like is is getting streched cause the motor is tilted because there is no tranny in the car right now. It is kind of leaning back right now

Looks good, but the only thing I'm concerned about is the aluminum top support looks like the weight is hanging from it, and it was made by bending some aluminum sheet. The bottom strap is only holding it from moving in and out. I'm concerned that the bend in the top piece will work-harden and crack with little notice. Maybe I'm reading the pix wrong and the entire top piece is steel... I just can't tell for sure.

No you are reading the pics right, That is the stock bumper support cut up. It is a thin piece of metal. It would be hanging from it, I am not sure if it will crack or not it better not I guess time will tell. I would think it would bend before it cracks though! what suggestion would you make to hold it better with stuff that I would probably have at home.
