Default who runs a autosportfl/broadfoot bumper?

I just purchased a broadfoot bumper for a whopping $710 =(
i have spend wayyyyyyyyyyy too much money on this damn car haha. but anyways...

do i need a turbo bumper mount? im guessing...yes.
I know they say to cut the fender as well because i have an N/A but im 1/2 contemplating purchasing turbo fiberglass fenders from gt-racing through LR...

here is the bumper for a memory refresher.

I asked Albert Broadfoot about the need for a Turbo inner bumper and he told me "no, not necessary". I too am thinking about going with his stuff. Is this street or track only? If track only, then look at the bumpers on his site with quick disconnects. Mine is track only and I'll probably go with a quick disconnect front bumper to aid in loading and unloading.

Instead of modifing the fender you could cut a bit out of the bumper. I was also thinking of going with the Broadfoot bumper but decided to go with the GT Racing Carrera GT bumper instead.

thanks gene...although im still having problems picturing it mounting to the stock location haha. ill figure it out i guess.

I already purchased it though. I was really really liking the widebody bumper..But ive spent so much on this car right now, i dont want to get more in the hole by adding wide fenders all around and wheel upgrades...just not fiesable on an N/A right now haha.

Now when i toss in a turbo engine...its on like donkey kong!

yea...i could modify the bumper, but im too scared to. at nearly $800 i dont want to do anything to modify it

i mean..i am just a staff sergeant in the airforce, not rich or anything =/
