Default Front Breather C5, How To?

I’m looking to see if anyone has links or information on turning your c5 into a front breather so I can run a deep splitter. I’ve seen a guy who did it flipping the angle of the radiator opposite from factory.
Thx Rich

kI believe the Tiger Shark front bumper will make it a front breather like the C6. Not sure of all the items that need to be changed.

You generally have to re-engineer the front of the car. It took some time to do because I had to fab some pieces. There is no catalog to just order everything you need to convert it over. The radiator does not need to be laid down, although that is the better solution.
