I actually cut out the center section when I had the Vortech as I was not getting enough airflow to the FMIC. I don't think I have pics but this was awhile ago.

Since then I went to the APS TT and noticed a few weeks ago that my water temp was hitting 101f when going up steep inclines and my F Con Navigator kept on beeping at me, so I decide to install a new front bumper. I just put it on a few days ago and I have seen a 5 degree drop which keeps it from ever reaching 100 degrees

Stock bumper sucks for Vorctech and APS.

 

Here is a pic of what I did many moons ago.

 

that actually doesnt look too bad. how was the structure of the front bumper after you did that? still solid? i may buy another front bumper soon and hack at it. anymore pics of that?

 

The structure of the bumper remianed very well in solid condition. if you are close I do have another stock bumper sitting here

 

I've had this custom front fascia for a few years now:







It was cheaper, and to me, looks better then what the aftermarket offers. All you have to do is find a body guy who is good with urethane and it's not a big deal. Thats the APS FMIC - with a smaller IC you could get away with a smaller opening.

 

this was a big part of my decision

 

I got the speed force dual intercooler setup made so I could retain the sport bumper
