have thought about it, but power is not my goal at this moment.

what style of body kit is that, i have the same size intercooler and it looks like it fits around the intercooler perfect. Doesnt look like you had to mod the bumper that much

its the original Gp-Sports kit.
i had to cut about 8cm from the back of the center duct to make it fit.
but thats just the core, so for the piping its needs more work...

I was wondering what to do with my old, falling apart ashtray under the radio! I'm totally copying you and re-locating my s-afc, making room for the new stereo receiver and my-own made carbon fiber backing. Looks beautiful man, but did I see some dust collecting on that paint? tsk. tsk. lol! Can't wait to see it all together!

LOL

yeah i found it to be the best place to put it.
and when you rest your hand on the parking brake, you can easily reach the buttons which is also practical.

i made a plate of sheet metal that just slides into place where the ashtray used to be, following the edges of the dash so it fits nicely without any gaps.
then i mounted the afc with some double sided sticky tape

Looks beautiful, and thanks for the updates.

One question though: It looks like only about 65% of that IC core is going to see any airflow (as is) why not go w/ a smaller core and reduce pressure drop/ lag ?
