05-06 front bumper that has better opening for intercooler

Is there a good front bumper that has a better opening for an intercooler for this model?

Yep, I have a big 550hp rated intercooler going in custom made from a shop since the one they originally had set out for me to get was unavailable. I plan on taking out my headlights to do a retrofit anyway so I thought about looking into a better front bumper to accommodate the other work. Any suggestions?

^he's in the sedan section so his only real options that I know of would be the Kurookie (Kuruma modified to fit a sedan)

or the K2

np man glad I could help I honestly would go for the k2 just because it seems to be the the less popular option, and I tend to be "that guy" who likes to do the stuff that no one does, but thats all up to you man. good luck with your build and I can't wait to see what comes of it. I like to see anything that is different in the sedan world.

The k2 does not look right unless your car is on the ground...go with the rookie, also make yourself familiar with the sedan media share section. The most popular sedans on the forum run the kurookie

Im going for the kurookie in a couple months. The 05-06 sedans seem like the black sheep of the family. I have a 05X and need the center open for the transfer case cooling. Kurookie is the best looking IMO. Just wish they were poly though.the cost is good too!

I'm really not too crazy about the fiberglass. I do a lot of highway driving and although I'm not super slammed lord knows what might come at me. First week of owning my G I hit a car tire that poked out from the service lane. After that I get into the city for work and some of the roads I swear look like a W laying down.

Oh man don't even get me started, NC roads are terrible. I swear they won't pave a road unless three children are sacrificed to Odin in this state.
