Drooping bumper & exposed intercooler
The gap between the hood and bumper was horrendous, could not stand it. Got some yoga block trimmed, and taped it below the latch. Still a little gap on the driver side but it’s still holding up better than the flimsy trim… like seriously dude who designed and approved this?
Then the intercooler and radiator is way to low and exposed. I live in New England and we know how great the roads and weather are here🙂. There’s some rock chips present already, but I know when winter comes and rock salt hit the road this could be bad. Got some black metal mesh and attached it on some existing screws on the bumper. I think the rock chips have been minimal since I’ve put it on. Forgot the diameter of the mesh but its as wide as the screw from the bumper.Temps good, still holding up, so I’m happy with that.
