Made an executive decision... - Lateral-g Forums

I've been mulling over this decision for months on end. I've decided that I won't be doing the RS grill on the car. It just won't work with the intercooler, it interferes with the door actuation. I've considered all the options and this is the best route. I really wanted to do the RS, I had planned it from the beginning, but it's just not going to work.

Guess I need a new rendering now. lol I'll still use the endura bumper, so I guess my car will have the Thrasher look.

Your car still will be Bad A$$ Steve...........The RS Front end is still REALLY cool!

Good move IMO. Going to be cool Scott.

Nothing wrong with the thrasher look at all

Gimme a shout Scott, I'll hook you up with a rendering

I like the standard grill better than the RS grill.

Scott, just make the RS doors non-functional and run a bright or HID headlight to shine through the door grilles. That way you wont have to run all the RS actuators and tanks and can save all the room.

I run my headlights like this at night and get enough light to see the road, and I think it looks better with the doors closed at all times anyways.

Ryan, I've thought a lot about that option. I'm just not sure about it since I plan on driving it a fair amount at night. Thanks for the feedback on driving with the doors closed. That's something that Charley had also recommended.

Along with the intercooler, another reason for going with the standard grill is that I plan on ducting the inlet plumbing to the turbos from the area of the grill outside the headlights. It will all be enclosed and should work great.

I agree, just don't hook up all the vacuum junk. Have you checked out the DSE kit to see if that may work for you. Worse comes to worse just push them in with you hand went you want to open them.... I just love the RS look...

There's physically not enough room for the doors to open past half way with the intercooler mounted on the core support.
