Just put in an intercooler and I had to modify the bumper like crazy. Wonderin if anybody knows of a front bumper/body kit that will accomodate a front mount intercooler with no or little modification?

Thanks.

well. it all depends... all setups are different.. depending on the width, and length of your IC, how its mounted, and everything, different ones will or will not fit.. take pics of everything and depending on where you had to cut it, how much you cut, you might not even be able to find a bumper that will fit.

the f2 would most likely be out of question cuz it would probably have the same problems as the stock one does.

the studie would probably not work because it wouldnt flow much air for one, and its not very big.. VS is huge, and so is cuda, so they might work..

Cuda 2, not the Cuda C1.

Although, the Cuda C1 has a HUGE area in the front for an intercooler cause it sticks out like 6" farther than stock.

spiffy, even though the cuda 2 looks better lol, the cuda 1 would work if there wasnt much room for the IC..the cuda 2 bumper isnt very IC friendly, mine is a smaller IC (not that wide) and barely fits, and i have it mounted to the back of the plastic bumper support.

and he cant get the cuda II bumper because they dont have them for the rd1..

where are you mounting the IC and what size is it?

^^^ My bad on the year. Anyway, I've been looking around and it looks like the extreme dimensions type 2 vader bumper would fit around an intercooler fairly easily.

I've never really seen/heard any talk about these kits before. Anybody have any fitment issues or any reviews in general?

Is this the Studie front? Remember Yuri's Car. Bringing up a good old memory car.



Actually, let me add the rest of his images just because he had a beatiful car and it was always a pleasure to look at.





Ah the memories. His car still makes me sick because of how nice it was. haha
