Heck yes +1 for thread!

@Cridland I did it, got down with the wizz wheel today, oil cooler mocked in place. I'm going to try and make this mount in a way that it will fold in if I ever have an incident on this corner.

Only make one nic in the paint, it blends right in with the other stone chips so I don't care. Still will clean up the edges a bit more.

AN fittings are a great little wrestle but always worth it. Now to work out a method of holding the lines neatly around the front.

Looks nice, and loving the build. Are you going to leave the hole open, or try and create a duct that will clean it up a bit more?

Small duct on front and back,and mesh if I can find something appealing.

Looks unreal and probably functions the same way, you should get mesh and do the other side as well, possibly middle to match too

Im going to cut the other side just for symmetry, not sure what I can make it do since the intercooler pipe does run right behind it.

Rear brace. Make them in big batches! We all want that.

Would probably be cool to have two bars bolted to the strut towers, that would tie up the rear end and frame completely!

I believe the rear strut "towers" don't transmit that much load to need a brace.

Great hiding place for the oil cooler, gets it out of the way of the intercooler and radiator. makes the front look much more stream lined.

I vote powder coated aluminum designs with some mesh filling in the gaps with some backlighting/fog lights. It would look sick at car shows without being too "ricer".

I see you are doing a lot in the engine bay, are there plans for the rest of the car? (aside from everything else you have done brakes/coilovers/exhaust/etc).

What you see is about the plan for the car. I'm not really one for cosmetic stuff. I'd like a front lip but they get trashed.

Stealth all the way. I'm starting to wish I didn't get gold wheels. May have to dip them a dark color.

Any interest in reproducing a second set??
