I used some anodized hex mesh in the license plate hole; didn't have the patience or craftsmanship to cut out the frame and mount it. I tried to match the hex size/finish of the hood nostrils... FMIC is a Griffin.

Those with T/As that were able to keep the fogs in the stock location (namely, ZL1Killa and bboyferal) can you give us some more pics detailing where the intercooler is located, its size, and how you made this happen? The only reason I'm not wanting to use the EPP kit is because I dislike the idea of removing the fogs. Thanks!

My exhaust housing almost touches it, and that was before I finally got a nice turbo blanket from Forced Inductions... For a while, they were hard to find.

Anything I have close to the turbo/downpipe is wrapped, viz. PS lines, oil lines, etc.

I don't remember the measurements but I believe I have some pictures that might help:





It goes right where the bumper support was, and it fits snugly between the stock foglight brackets... Damn, I just recently had the front bumper off to tighten some clamps. I should have taken a picture, lol.

my intercooler is the same intercooler as the PTK kit/PTS kit... yeh i know... BUT anyhow you can get it sized just right... i believe somewhere in my car build thread I have details on the sizing...have to look it up for ya.

I had to cut the crap out of all the black plastic under the car/front bumper, and it actually somewhat helps support some of the piping.

take a look in my thread and see if you see something on the size of mine and I will look tomorrow for ya to see if I can find it, I know i saved it somewhere

I'm running the cheap e-bay intercooler. 31x12" I think.

FMICs make me wish I had a Camaro instead of a T/A.

So do duals dumped before the axle (T/A rear bumper looks weird w/o tips).
