I suggest purchasing a new radiator support and modifying it correctly so you don't lose a lot of structural integrity like you've done there

WITHOUT cutting the brace, the procharger would be open to dirt/particles/etc that would be very hazardous to the thin blades and the overall charger mechanism.

Again, the radiator support goes down a LOT farther than what I've cut. Strength or structural integrity is literally a non-issue, so I don't see why you keep bringing it up. In fact, it's nothing compared to the sacrifices some people make for F/I (i.e. - removing the crash beam). My design delivers cold air to the charger (through the grille), allows easier access to the blades, and it allows me to easily clean the filter. And I've since cleaned up the edges with a dremel so it looks a bit better.
Anyways, sorry for going off-topic.... now lets see some sick silver G's!

Looking good guys!!
I finally got my Gialla front lip in after almost 4 months of waiting and NISMO S-Tune Side and Rear Diffusers. I'll have to get on having them painted and take some pics as soon as work let's me, ha! (ie, work is killing my time these days, arrgghhh!!!)
Thanks Guys!
