Well getting the bumper off was tedious haha not hard just loads of screws and hidden screws. OH and all those stupid clips everywhere grrr. Then the upper and lowers splash guard!!!!

Fun part = Sawzall

Here we go!

Bumper off with both splash guards exposed:




Splash Guards Off:




Hood latch support cut out. I decided to not just cut it in half and just cut out the amount needed and leaving it somewhat in tact:

Top:


Bottom:

How she sits now:

Intercooler mounted:

Tomorrow I get to cut some more and mount up the piping etc.

Should I keep those tubular plastic forms behind the upper grill?

looks mighty fine, when you look through the lower air dam you see a big radiator , epic !

Ya it will be funny to see ppl look in the rear view and be like "wtf? no... no way omg is that a" and then they see me go bye bye lol haha

I know lol my thinking is weird haha.

lololololol

very nice man, wish i could afford that lol. the mod bug kills me sometimes lol

Ive been planning this for 3 years hahaha I only jumped on it because the price was a steal! Cheaper then top swap with intercooler!!! Trust me I know the $$$ situation all too well.

look good.

Yup. Im jealous! looks good man!


Bumper removal isnt hard at all. Or very time consuming for that matter. I can have mine off in like 15-20mins. by myself

Oh and as far as the things that go behind the grille opening. Pitch 'em.

I never said it was hard or time consuming I just said it was tedious lol. A bit overkill on the clips in my mind haha

EDIT: I was planning on pitching em but idk I might do something "custom" and if I screw up on em oh well back to plan A lol.

Yeah. What air going to do with lower air deflector piece thing-a-ma-jig? I might be interested in it if you dont want it.

The lower one is going back on. I have to cut a little 3" piece in it but it will fit back on. The middle piece (the one standing up right in one of the pics) is trash same with the ducts if I can't do something with em.

Damn. That lower deflector is hard to find.

I know I wish I could help ya but I'd like to have something in between the road and the I/C piping lol

Thats fine man. The reason I want one is my over flow hoses run along the bottom of my core support. So thats pretty self explanatory.

Self explanatory was right. GL on the search Ill make sure to keep an eye out around the junk yards and on forums for ya

Junkyards preferable. I dont have pay-pal anymore so I gotta go old school and send money orders.

Dang man. This wrecked (rear end) car have splash guard at junk yard last summer. Too bad it was already crushed. I will keep you in mind if I found any of them this spring/summer whenever they add this cars every week. It will take some times.

Thanks alot Palsut!

Ya Palsut

did i miss you going turbo or something?......why are you putting an intercooler on your gt

yep I posted up before

On that note I'm off to re-spray the pipes and mount those. More pics later on.

Well I did a test mount on the piping.

Cut the frame where needed. Cut the tow brace and some fender support too.

Came out nice

Quick Coat:




Weapon of Mass Destruction!!!





Car fights back!

How it came out:

And Yes I will be doing a final coating next. I just did a quick one for fitment and to see how it would look.

very nice my friend. cant wait to see it done !

Ty and once I get into the Turbo install pics will be less and less.

Here is a picture of before the cutting lol


After

Hurry up and get that turbo in there! I wanna hear this thing run!

Ya Ya I'm working on it haha.

I wonder do you know fender inner really broken?

Btw, that's really good job. Keep it up good work. I'm looking forward final project.

I pulled the inner plastic fender off so I could work on it :p and I know there is a piece that is ripped but it does not affect it at all lol. The funny part was my grandma's reaction when she came over today roflmfao hahaha it was priceless.

lol my body shop broken mine when they are blend my fender. They drove my car with loose fender inner. When I went to body shop to pay visit to see how was my car paint project going on. When I saw fender that you rip is already under my front wheel. My react is really mad. I bring my body manager about that. They said that's normal for "two" pieces. I laughed my head off. Really? Ok let me show you my other fender inner. Look... they are stick together. Where is "two" pieces? They got owned and they are very sorry and got me new one.

Hahaha

With that setup is your tranny gonna last chris? I wanna do something similar with my GT, that is once I get the cash.

Ya I'm only gunna boost around 10 psi on the streets I.E: like 330ish whp. Should be fine. I'm not gunna go nuts around every turn lol.

So how much did this setup cost you? I really wanna do something like this once I have the cash saved up. I just wanna give my gp a lil boost.

BTW nice tires! but.....they wont get traction, i know from experience




good luck and keep up the good work! i cant wait to see it done!!!!!

Well I did all I could without a lift. She is off ramps and tomorrow morning shes headed off to my friends shop so we can finish her up.
