Hello,
water cooled 914 here. I have an LS6 motor I'm dropping in. Has anyone ducted a radiator successfully without cutting the front bumper? I'd like to keep the bumper intact and use a front lower valance for an intake. Was going to lay the radiator in the front trunk at an angle. Thanks! Bill |

Running a 3.2, with a uncut bumper and a custom cut LE spoiler.
  Renegade hybrid is who you should be asking, they make a front spoiler that is designed to scoop in the air. You could probably use the fog light grills as a additional way to hide the additional cutouts you may need to bring in extra air ??? |
