That looks something fierce!

Are you concerned about the ability of the engine to keep itself cool? The inter-cooler appears to overlap the entire radiator.

FastCougar · 09-23-2007, 11:43 AM

With unshrouding the bumper, I would expect the radiator to see even more air. Not to mention, there is a good 4-5 inch wind break between the intercooler and radiator. All in all, I don't expect the water temp to raise at all.

Did you not get rid of the A/C condensor as well?

FastCougar · 09-23-2007, 12:48 PM

Everything A/C related is gone except for the stuff inside the dash.

FastCougar · 09-23-2007, 03:47 PM

No aftermarket bumper ... I going to fashion my own out of the stock unit
