Cutting OEM Bumper for Intercooler.
Hey guys, we're going to be installing a XS-Engineering GTR Core Intercooler, 31X11X3, on our G35 Project Car and I wanted to get some opinions on cutting the OEM bumper. Basically using a dremel to cut out a 35X12 whole in the front bumper to make room for the intercooler.
Here's a rough example using a civic...
Let me know what you guys think.

It was all custom done, so the price I paid is irrelavent, unless you come to Dayton, Ohio and have the same guy do it! That being said, the price was comprable to buying a name brand fascia and having it painted.
I'm sure you could fit a lip on there, especially since if I ever decide to go with one (which I have no plans of right now) I will have the same guy mold it all together to form one piece. The lines of the OEM lip take away from the overall appearance, imo.
Thanks for the compliments!

I agree.
If you like the way the stock bumper looks then why don't you try fabricating what turbonetics did with their intercooler by putting two fans on it. I am not a big fan of really any of the aftermarket body pieces.
