At least it's fast. Plus it was the owner's decision. The install itself was good.

Default " The install itself was good."

Well, we'll see if that's true after a few thousand miles :-)

Default Many thanks.

Trust me, after driving it and seeing it in person, you'd give your left nut to own this car, even with the bumper being the way it is ;^)

Default don't get me wrong

I appreciate the work that you did to get it to fit into the stock bumper and I don't doubt that it performs but, speaking from a strictly aesthetic point of view, I think that it just looks like crap.

It's cool! I don't mind the input, good or bad.

Default My main concern would be damaging that thing...

I scrape and scratch my front lower valence all the time on driveways and stupid inverted (and invisible) speedbumps in Torrance. I dont see how that nice shiny tube would avoid getting scratched, if not worse.
If your install is worth anything to the owner, he'd put on a more encapsulating bumper.

I think the reason you find it looking "not so bad" is you've been looking at it for too long =P

Default We mounted it on a flexable mount. It can get pushed back over 3" with no damage.

And as I said before, when the customer decides to put an aftermarket bumper on it, we'll be ready to roll, but only after we install a better clutch.

Innovators rules!

Default Man that's a dumb looking intercooler

Nonetheless, if I see that in my mirror I'll sure know to move out of the way!
