^ oh. More pics would be a bonus. :D I know I couldn't run a scoop that low on my car. The bottom of my OE lip spoiler is pretty much scraped everywhere.

I don't run the scoop on the street, I tryed and it almost scrapes the dots in the road. But I don't drive it hard enouph on the street to need all that cooling. I also plan on welding some tube off the back of the scoop for front brake cooling ducting. Ill take more picks as I keep modifying the setup. Thanks for all the good input.

yeah, that thing will not work on the street...i was stupid enough to have it for a day...it ripped my radiator out broke both the fans...

Ouch that hurts the only time I drove mine on the street was the night before that pic just to make sure everything was running right for the track day. And yes that is the front strait at T hill

would this size intercooler be able to fit standing straight up? I have AC will it still fit? Im looking to get the biggest size intercooler I can fit. But I need AC for now, I'll probably remove it later when my car is a dedicated track car, but for now it stays as its my daily

As long as you are willing to cut the front of your frame off. That's why I have the new tubular piece, I also wanted the stiffen up the front end.
