that cheap plastic cutting boards, they are 1/16 in thick, find some that is an 1/8, with the bend in the ends, it should be plenty strong.

the bright blue couplers kinda throw out the stealthyness of the black intercooler. use a blow dryer instead of the heat gun

can you roll the bottom? That would make it more rigid.

still havent reinforced it, dont think im going to.

its very low and now if i bottom out it can bend back and be fine.

i think reinforcing it will cause problems down the line.

i put a piece of square steel tubing i had lying around in as a stiffiner.

get some cleaner pics, i think it would have looked better, if you would have
attached it to the lower part of the bumper(under the molding and signasl lights),
right were it indends, instead of the upper,
on the upper it just mades the bumper look to wide for me.
also i would make some more holes in it so it don't look to soild, look at some front bumpers on racecars to get some ideas.
good work tho
