install on d1sc kit (twin intercooler)
Well i recently recieved my vortex front lip, side skirts and spl rear spoiler in carbon fiber, but have come across what could be an issue..
I have gone crazy on this car in the last few months and also purchased a d1sc supercharger kit.
My question is...am i safe to put on the super charger kit after the front lip or will the intake and intercooler pumbing get in the way...ie) how much of the bumper do you have to cut to fit the kit and how low down does the plumbing hang? I dont want to put on the front lip now and find i have to remove it and trim it later

i have heard about this issue but i was planning on maybe cutting away the entire center section of the front splitter and just having teh splitter as a front bumper addition. I just want to make sure before i do that the plumbing of the intercoolers doesnt go lower than the subframe already is...could make the intall of teh splitter very tricky

I did something similar to this with my front to increase cooling airflow.
