im not sure.... if your not confident in doing the work why would you accept the challenge? Greed gets the best of us sometimes i guess... sigh oh well whats done is done. im just using it as my fire right now.
Got some more work done this weekend. Started test fitting my intercooler. I am not impressed at all by this kit. As expensive as it was i imagined it would be more "bolt on" than it is, but i guess i can do it how i want now.
as you can see, this kit was obviously made for optimum performance, not optimum fitment (enter sarcastic emoticon). I dont like how most people remove the front rebar to fit intercoolers, i am going to modify mine to fit
let the trimming begin
As you can see i cut the middle section out of the rebar and the locating sides so i can still be bolts to the car. ill be getting plates welded to the open sections of the two ends, then connect them with some bar. then ill need to fabricate some brackets to connect to the intercooler tabs and it will be good to go!
I install my carbon fiber type R spoiler
i picked up a carbon fiber hood, trimmed my front bumper for the intercooler. once everything is fabricated and bolted down ill be making some aluminium ducting for the intercooler and rad. i also test fit my J's racing fenders and this is how she sits. pretty dam sexy if you ask me more to come
