Yeah flexible isnt going to work, you have to put some pressure on it. You might be able to pop the grill out and flex the bumper enough

even if angled, since your gonna use a bolt/nut might work.

I guess the way i did the holes is touching my intercooler. I drilled the holes next to the hole that powell says to use and when i was reinstalling everything i was touching the intercooler, and im not really liking it im just going to buy a new crash bar and redrill the holes before i end up with my intercooler with a hole

No need for a new crash bar

Oh ya, and you change the color so you can see. I think Apex used that as well. Awesome. Thanks guys! I have a track cruise coming up, but the pedders and stock suspension is blown. CED trip took some shavings off the tires. I still need to roll the fenders.

Also Powell has new brake air ducts! the bolt to the control arm. Need me some of them. Hopefully john or glo can post up some pics

qfe

best for the moneys, best for performance > MOTOL RBF 600 but its double the cost of ATE Super Blue/Gold for an extra 50F or so boil protection. So daily driving its not needed and even most who track their car don't need it
