Does anyone know, or better yet have a graphic with dimensions for the front bumper/valance opening(s) for the GT oil cooler inlet?
I'm thinking about attempting this mod on an extra bumper/val that I have, to feed air to an A/C condenser on a /4. Items would be painted black so doesn't have to be perfect (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . |

You can do it with just the lower valance. The oem holes line up with the valance, not the bumper. If you like the GT look, then by all means, go for it but you can get air in the trunk without opening up the bumper.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) You can buy the lower GT valance from American International Racing. They sell a flaired option and non flaired car option. You can remove the plastic plugs and still get plenty of air flow without cutting the car. Otherwise I would either have Ben cut and weld a chrome or metal bumper to match the valance or buy a fiberglass one already done. Note that the fiberglass GT bumper requires lots of work to make it fit right. Also check the pbase GT sight for more info. https://www.pbase.com/9146gt/9146gt_front_m..._oil_cooler_no1 |
