2G Front bumper modifications for intercooler.

[Bleakley]

Been looking at pictures online for days. My setup is different than most.
I’ll let the pictures do most of the talking.
Started out cutting little by little and then said f*** it.
Then I REALLY said f*** it. Came out TERRIBLE. Lol.

Pretty convinced the 2GA bumper is not going to work for me at ALL and am probably going to use a 2GB eclipse bumper / headlight setup.
Thinking maybe move intercooler back an inch? Or so and hopefully I can move the piping back a little as well.

Any comments or tips would really be appreciated. Got my @$$ kicked today.

That sucks man. Pretty sure you’ll have the same issue with the 2gb front end. I had a 95 and converted to 2gb later. There isn’t too much wiggle room iirc

That's going to be a rough one even with the 2gb front bumper. Honestly if I were you I would just try and source a different intercooler, it will probably save you alot of aggravation moving forward.

Which is why I run the aftermarket bumper.

You can try go back more but you may loose the factor air diverter to the rad. And mou ting it to the crash bar may make it sit wonky but it might be possible,

What i would do is trim into your crash bar and sit it higher and back more as you may just make more room that way. A 2GB bumper is a bit better design and space wise for an intercooler but i dont know how much by though

I think your bumper works for the eclipse but would look ricey on a talon.
Thanks for some feedback guys.

Gonna try and move intercooler back a little.
Gonna try to do something with the piping going to engine (probably try to push that back as well) to help with bumper.
Gonna try a 2GB eclipse bumper and headlight setup. Really confident the 2GA is a no go for my configuration.

This came out pretty good in my opinion. Much better than the 2Ga talon bumper.
Bumper I got was already modded. If I was able to get an unmodified one I’d be able to make this look even better.
Overall I’m pleased with the results though.

I agree looks much better. That's a 2GB Eclipse bumper BTW. It looks like your FMIC is mounted lower than most I've seen. You'll have to be more careful & not drag the your front end on the ground.
