Zip tied plate on mesh grill

How many people actually is doing it or done it? Any problems blocking half the IC for daily driving purposes? Also, anything extra you all do to prevent the sharp edges of the plate from cutting the bumper?

take the plate and shove it under the front bumper on the inside, so it's off to the corner. I have had no problems with the airflow to the IC. Hope this helps

2BEVO, I am wanting to do the same, but I don't want to screw up my new sweet *** intercooler with a large rock or something. Any dings yet? Is that a greddy core?

What do you mean, screw up the intercooler? There is a mesh grille in front of the IC. Its the BR Deluxe FMIC, Greddy one kinda sucks IMO. No dings, scratches or anything. Bugs hardly get on it. The stock mesh grille does a great job.

Oh, I thought that you removed the screen. My screen is causing me all kind of trouble with my intrcooler. The Bushur looks much better than I thought. For some reason, when I see other Evo's, yours included,they appear to look better than mine, and it is loaded with parts. Go figure.
