What about modifying a brake duct vent on the sides and directing air behind toward the radiator?

Didn't know we had any ????

Just had a thought - seeing as your IC is only 10" if you cut out the diamonds in the stock grill as per photo in the thread i linked you will get air over the top of the intercooler and that may well be enough .

That way you keep the rice effect

Now you are talking - just make sure it is not too restrictive ...

you can use braided hose, it's good, but you should know the line that people can see. it's expensive, it's good if you have turbo top mount because you can use the oil line and other things in braided lines. do like mine, yours will look good.

you can change the bumper, buy the tsunami, i always want to see that bumper in our crew...tehre is on in ebay, and they are a distribution in our club too...try that..
