itsme Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 update: I got the stock bumper and the new core in. The core you see is a tube and fin. The kit will have bar and plate. As you can see the core clears the bumper. http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u156/itsmebryan/094837.jpg Here is more views http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u156/itsmebryan/094853.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u156/itsmebryan/094909.jpg Here are views from the front to show that the core will not intrude into the grill. http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u156/itsmebryan/095010.jpg http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u156/itsmebryan/095017.jpg So The project is still moving along. I'm able to do 2 of the 3 things I wanted. 1. I found a core that would not hit the bumper. 2. Found a way to clear the air pump. The hard part now is keeping the foglights. There is not much room. So that is the part I'm working on now and what is holding up the project. So how many is this a deal breaker? I have some ideals but, I think it may push the kit over the $500 target pick. So how much is worth to you to keep the foglights? The non turbo foglight covers will fit for more of a stock look. So I'm keeping you guys up to date.

Verwilderd Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Are these kits going to use bigger ic piping than the xo2 ones? Also what about flipping the core so the inlets and outlets are on top? Will that allow for the fog light clearance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodstock Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 ill take it now! I will just get some LED strip on the fogs cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that allow for the fog light clearance? We have been over this with the first kit. Read the link in the first thread. If you flip the core you will have no way to mount the bumper.

The non turbo foglight covers will fit for more of a stock look. So I'm keeping you guys up to date. IIRC, the Perrin kit does not allow fogs as sold by Perrin, but there is a fairly simple mod that allows the foglights to stay. Perhaps you do one of the following: 1. Offer a with foglight and w/out foglight kit and charge approrpriately. 2. Offer a seperate "upgrade" that includes items neccessary to re-route pipes etc. to allow foglights to stay in place. 3. Just make the kit and let people know what they will need to modify and purchase to make it work with the foglights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perrin also flips the core and removes the bumper beam because the charge pipes enter/exit the core about where the beam sits. I wonder, if this kit was sold in two flavors - Perrin-style that loses the beam (or that replaces the beam), or current-style that loses the fogs, which would sell better?
