I am on the last steps of installing my PFab ELT divided GT35R turbo setup. I have a stock AP1 front bumper and I am having difficulty getting the bumper cover to go back on after the IC install. I can't move the IC back any further, or my IC piping won't line up. I have started trimming on the black grill part of the bumper to get it to fit, but then I noticed that the lower part of the bumper actually covers the bottom 1/3 of the IC. i would like a bumper cover that fits as well as stock, but has room for IC and allows all of the IC fins to get air. Who makes one? Also, if you have pics of your setup, I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Brandon

 

my FMIC sits pretty low in my bumper, i think it's just the way the shop i had do it mounted it. where my FMIC is mounted also kind of threw off the my bumper fitment, if it was mounted better, i'm sure everything would line up better.

 

just trim bumper

 

Thats not the sexy I have to buy something new answer I was looking for. LOL

 

I'm running the J's front, which gives lots and lots of room and completely unobstructed airflow. The down side is that the rockflow is also completely unobstructed. Cooler is taking a beating.

 

my front ap1 bumper has no black and it fits flush with intercooler... I freed up 2 more sections of fins by using a heat gun, c clamps, and some other tools to basically heat up the bottom section of bumper and bend it uniformly, it looks great and let's more intercooler get air

 

Can you raise the intercooler up more and the pipes still fit good? I wouldnt want my intercooler hanging lower than the lowest part of the bumper cover. I have the IP 800 hp intercooler and it fits in mine excellent with no bumper cover mods at all. I did have to cut out some of the frame rails to get the end tanks to fit good though but its high enough not to hang too low that my bumper cover wont fit.

 

Its not too low. It sits too far forward and catches the black fins on the bottom. I have pushed the A/C dryer back and its as far back as can go with piping still lining up.

 

Oh ok. I cut all of my fins out so that there is a full open hole and had the bumper cover repainted. Maybe you can just cut them all out and it'll work like mine did.

 

My Shine ASM Front Bumper fits perfect. I would imagine a REAL ASM bumper would fit the same as well.
