fender bolts?? does the bumper quick release??

I like the mods, but is the tube above the intercooler for safety??? No front protection for the intercooler?

Nice work

How did you do your bumper release?

 

[Natesriv]

What type gauge did you use? A simple mechanical one? Brand?

Fun to drill into the dash huh? I love mine!

Looks like the same gauge, but I plasti dipped my trim ring black.

How did you do your bumper release?

I only have the quick release bands and two upper 10 mil bolts holding it on. 5 sec to get it off now

The crash bar is so I don't have half of the intercooler being blocked by the factory crash bar, I like the open look, I also have the rs grill with upper piece take out to expose the whole intercooler.

Rear hatch brace.

Nice RS and great attention to detail. You should be very proud of your creation.

Still gold wrapped... Just switched from my zzp Cruze intake to an injen. New filter coming ...

 

[Apocalypse]

Painted my headlight rings black...

 

[Apocalypse]

Painted my intercooler black and added a red RS logo. Posted a thread in the DIY...

 

[Apocalypse]

Not sure if I mentioned I also have an intercooler sprayer built on to my modified crash bar. It is tapped into the rear hatch sprayer and sprays on the intercooler instead when the stick is pressed...



Also my tow strap is mounted to the same bar.

 

[Brad Ferrell]

Looking good Sir. Looking good.

Would you share the dimensions of your drift crash bar?

Also, who'd you get the ported intake from?

I ported the intake manifold.

Rear hatch brace.

How well does this brace help with handling stability, was it a noticeable improvement?
