that doesn't look bad, but isn't there something that can replace the grill....otherwise that poor oil cooler and radiator are gonna get absolutely trashed.....something with mesh maybe....i dunno...please post pics and toss ideas around...thanks in advance

 

what makes u think the 2 bars on the OEM grille offers ANY PROTECTION WHATSOEVER?! and... what oil cooler?

 

@ r_duff
I think he mixed up the J's Racing Tsuchinoko Intake with an oil cooler...

 

possibly... hey, kinda off topic, but have u ever considered painting the AC collector black? It looks 'off' with a wide open grille like that. It's never bothered me before, but someone once referred to it as the '1 tooth' and it has bothered me ever since lol

 

i actually painted my grills body color, looks pretty sharp if you are just doing it for unique factor.

 

how about a front mount intercooler?

 

just something to protect the radiator but not look fugly....pictures please!!! thanks

 

Actually I dont mind the "tooth effect", but is a good isea that you mentioned it. But I have also the "Tsuchinoko tooth" in there to cover as well...

Am just curious how is gonna look with the J's Racing Type-S front bumper...

 

I went a different route and did this.

 

There needs to be something there for some protection. The opening in the front bumper could swallow a small family.
