A9H-RX Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Currently carrying out extensive modification to my front bumper and humming and haring about cutting the grill out to show the intercooler off.. Anyone got any pictures of their grill cut out so I can see what it looks like and also comment to whether stone chip damage to the rad or intercooler if FI, has occurred more without it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryl Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 If you have a black IC then i think you can get away with it, but im not a fan of the big mouth style, like above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be cutting my grill out tonight then Will probably get a logo sprayed on my intercooler, not sure yet.. Kind of like the exposed look.. Anyone suffer from major fin damage?

WhackyWill Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Love the look of the red Zed.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 What I will say is, if you're spraying something on there, choose something simple, that's easy to repeat. My previous car's intercooler had Forge sprayed on it, but after about 6 months it started to fade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacky Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Love the look of exposed big front mounts! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A9H-RX Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Very similar look to what I'm going for! Exposed intercooler, all flush bumper and bonnet cut outs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chubby Ninja Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I was thinking of doing this too. have you got a lip on the bumper? they cars have some sort of lip thing on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) It does look pretty cool I'll admit but if it was me I'd protect my "expensive" inter-cooler with some diamond mesh or similar if I was you A9H-RX. My mate had the exposed look on his Impreza with a front mounted inter-cooler until one day as he was driving some little sh*t kid on a coach he was driving past decided to throw a full can of coke at his car. Went straight in at about 50mph smashing the corner of his inter-cooler, bending a mount & dislodging a hose. He now has a full diamond black mesh over the new inter-cooler which imo look's ok and stops cans of coke & rabbits from destroying his cooler.

Ian Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Had a thin mesh grille over mine Not running any protection on the Supra though nor did I on the GTR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete87 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I think you should stay with the sleeper look personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtB Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Very similar look to what I'm going for! Exposed intercooler, all flush bumper and bonnet cut outs I'm a big fan of the understated look but that looks phenominal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Very similar look to what I'm going for! Exposed intercooler, all flush bumper and bonnet cut outs Now that is perfect Edited December 17, 2013 by StevoD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A9H-RX Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Too late to go back now, the grill has not been scrapped Now for the long winded mold and shape for perfect flush look 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I would love to achieve a look like the red and silver ones but...........it's the number plate that ruins the look for me, where would you place it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 think your going to have to colour code your splitter aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably going to invest in tarmacs flip plate so it gets sucked into the bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A9H-RX Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) think your going to have to colour code your splitter aswell I'm going black splitter and got black side and rear diffusers Edited December 17, 2013 by A9H-RX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
