ost_uid0]actually....

my pipes were bend to the ****house.....so bent that my a/c unit ceases to work now cause it cant get gas from the conditioner from the bend. I cant actually put mesh in the from bar :angry: but it still looks sweet and an intercooler is going there soon so problem solvered. In reguards to the front bar is was done really well...it wasnt actually chopped much at it..its hard to explain it was chopped and the angle was changed (the bottem of the air dam is now straight instead of sloping down ; which was why it was so low in the first place). No idea how you'd replicate it again because it was all experimental involving 2 weeks of thinking and doing. Unique but a pain in the ass to do. Id love to post a picture but my car is STILL in the shop getting the headwork etc..
