I could swear I've seen a car or two here that has a chrome front bumper that has been opened up for the oil cooler inlet for a trunk mounted cooler.
Anyone have photos or details they can share about it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) Kev |

You didn't specify factory style...
This bumper is fiberglass but I cut an identical hole in the original steel bumper as well. Stainless mesh makes for no maintenance, and the oil cooler duct behind the hole is sealed on all edges to prevent air from going anywhere else but into the cooler. On the chrome. Whatever the design you implement, tape it to keep it from pulling up as you cut, go slowly to keep it cool, and make sure the edges are deburred and sealed to keep the chrome from peeling up. Good luck |
