bumper and Intercooler

[SwiftE30]

I'm going with an M-tech 2 bumper and an intercooler that has an overall size of 31x12x3, and was just trying to get a little input from people that have gone this size with this bumper as to how much you had to cut out of the valance, bumper etc. Any help is greatly appreciated. thank you.

I used one about that size and put it up higher, so it filled the grille areas.

How much did you have to cut away?

[einstein57]

I think it depends on if your keeping a/c

It's a vert so it has it's own built in chassis air conditioning.

Hahaha exactly. I don't think a/c on a vert is worth it. What would change if I were getting rid off a/c. Is it that little small radiator looking thing with two hoses coming out of it that sits in front?

You could effectively mount the IC in the space where the AC condenser was.

Ok. Just waiting on the IC to come in the mail. And I'll post what I come up with, with pics. Thanks

Look at Newman's thread but he did some cutting as well as the fi section on e30tech as more people are fi there

Thanks! I checked it out and man that things sits really far forward and low and it sounds like he had to do a lot of cutting and welding new brackets. I don't have any welding experience so that might be an obstacle. I was hopin to have the front bumper tucked as much as possible, but seems lika that also might not be an option.
