Got bored, made this...
 
Sup guys,


Here's my little project for the day. I didn't like the exposed intercooler piping and couplers so I made custom covers. I ordered Carbign Craft 12x12 CF plates which I cut to fit, drilled a couple of holes and bolted them to the bumper support bar. As a bonus they turned out to be a great mounting place for the apr splitter rods. Pretty cool I think!

im about to do the same thing on my frs just for the purpose of making the air go through my radiator instead of around it. Can you post a picture of how you mounted it?

I sure don't mind it

No, I didn't take a pic and I would have to take the bumper off to take one. But its just bolted to the bumper support bar.

Very nice. I can see this as a production item.

What did you use to cut the carbon? Pics of it with the bumper off? I have the kraftwerks kit and would like to do something similar.

I used a dremel to cut it and sorry but I didn't take pics with the bumper off.

very nicely done man... and the best part is you didn't have to drill out your bumper for those splitter support rods :thumbup:

Good looks!

Love it! Awesome DIY!

Only thing I see, would be if the insides were angled in towards the intercooler so they sat flush, creating a scoop-like effect. As opposed to being flat.

Very cool though, great location for the splitter rods. Looks clean!

Yeah thats actually what I wanted but It would have to be molded that way and I don't have much experience with composites and such. I should look into it tho..
