Aftermarket bumpers with front mount intercooler / oil coolers?

snowsurfdirtx · 02-27-2014, 10:42 AM

Just wondering what everyone runs as far as aftermarket front bumpers with intercoolers. I was looking at the Amuse front bumper and due to oil filter relocation and the supercharger oil cooler / 25 row engine oil cooler I'm worried about fitment.

I'd hate to buy a 1k+ bumper and then have to heavily modify it to fit, or not be able to fit. Can you post what front bumper you run, what FI kit, oil coolers / etc, and if it required a ton of modding to make it fit right?

Thanks

Mr&Mrs has the Zele bumper and a GTM TT kit and told me it fits fine. That's probably the direction I'm going. LafitteZ(?) has a Stillen bumper with a GTM kit and mentioned it took some work to get it to fit right.

I think it really depends on the intercooler and bumper. Best thing to do might be to select both and and if anyone has done the pair.

I have the amuse w/ gtm garett tt and your going to have a lot of fun taking off the bumper every time you do an oil change

Your going to become a pro at it but other than that..

It looks nice and fits well

I had to do some very minor cutting to my amuse for my intercooler.

Awesome, thanks guys. I searched and could only find a couple that had it. Fujimura / CS Raptor I like, but my favorite was the Amuse and Anthony, I figured that'd be the case.. lol it doesn't seem too bad to remove, but since the undertray is all one piece, that was another thing that worried me

The Zele is interesting, and it's growing on me..Chuck, when are you planning on picking it up and from where if you don't mind me asking? I'm thinking about going with the Aerojacket front till I can move back to CA to nicer roads..

Picking it up from one of the vendors here. The name escapes me at the moment. It'll be in the next few months. I'll most likely have to sell my lip and side skirts to free up the cash.
