Do they always have to cut the front bumper?



This guy came by that car show that I posted pix from...bouncing the engine off the rev limiter like crazy...he thought there was a race or something going on. Haha.

Because we don't need the "extra performance" gains they do.

Unfortunatly I have seen FC owners cut the shut out of their front bumpers. It looks worse that that guys car.



My buddy has a 2G and his IC is tucked away. I have pics somewhere I could post them up. Its a really good looking well done car. Not ricey at all. And it has close to 400FWHP

There's not a lot of room in their bumpers for a big intercooler. The pipes often hit the bumper as well.
