Installed mine along with Kaze Spec splitter mounts. I'll be adding a piece of metal the same thickness as the plate of the support bar so the splitter mount rests against more surface area but they look like they will work great together.

Would there be any interest in a ducting kit that would work with the front bar and an airdam?

Definitely. Would it be possible to have a version that can accommodate FMIC?

Due to nearly infinite possibilities for intercooler mounting that trimming would be left to the end user.

Ill be making a new thread for the ducting stuff in the near future. As for now I have a strut bar that I cant use on my K swap so one of the next 10 bars sold will get a FREE STRUT BAR tossed into with the order.

Got mine as well a couple weeks ago, helped me tighten up my front end after cutting out a bent center support. Thanks!

Is there any reason to be concerned about the front bumper "caving in" from lack of support behind it? It's a streetcar, so the looks are important to me.

I'm adding an oil cooler to my ls1 nb and the front end real estate is already tight. I need one of these.

Zero concern with bumper caving in. That is unless car meets wall at speed or something that would typically cave in the front of the car anyways.

Good to hear. I only bring that up because you see NA's with the bumper caving in with no support behind it. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't a concern with this product. Count me in.

What's the general practice - cut off the air conditioning brackets in front of radiator and extend the duct sides into or past the radiator hangers or build the sides from the AC condenser mounting points ? What's the best place to attach the sides of the box or how far are the sides - up to the radiator or slightly past the rad tank sides ?

The cut off front section which incorporates the tow hook attachments are in the way and makes the duct box construction more difficult, requiring a flared shape toward the radiator.
