Looks good! Are you going to do anything to the front bumper to let the intercooler breathe more?

for now im planning on trimming the foglights holes out to get rid of how deep they are, and let the air spread out sooner as soon as it goes through. might get rid of some of the underneath of the bumper too if it looks tasteful and make a scoop/splitter to direct air up. I've given thought to a ls1 front end for the plate opening but id kinda like to stay true to the engine
