Default got pics

The NA radiator gets serious airflow when the restrictive cross panel is removed.
It's cooling my 5.3l V8 nicely. This is the TPC nose and I mounted the turnsignals in the fogs.

What did you do to remove that? It looks like that could help a bit with my overheating....err, georgia heat problem

P.S.
Have you considered putting some sort of mesh, like shown on the first page, in there to protect the radiator? I like the way it looks and the cooling benefits, but I'd be scared of all the loose gravel finding its way into the radiator

The plastic is easy to cut. Just get hand saw and start cutting.

The mesh is designed to stop larger chunks of rubber and rocks. Smaller stuff still gets in the radiator.

Don't be scared, just stay ahead of the pack which is easy to do in the 948
For the airflow mod, just don't cut the center hanger to lower valence (little hard to see in the pic in the very center)
I'm about to do all LED conversion and will get rid of the "fogsignals"

If anybody is removing there back bumper pads, I need one in a good condition.
I need the right hand passenger side. For a 951, 1986. I'm pretty sure the pad is the same for a turbo and N/A.
Please pm me.

xsshop -

are you affiliated with Texas Perfomance? How was the fitment on the front bumper? Pre-drilled? I'm giving this a second thought. Do you have their rear bumper on as well? Any pics?

I also like their headlight conversion, somewhat, would not mind seeing pics of that installed as well

Thanks!

This my ex 944 view from front /rear & side ,did the mode myself ,front has Bosche Pilot clear lens, rear is an AIR fiberglass bumper.

Not affiliated, but if I were I would not be ashamed to admit it. Eric builds quality stuff and I have a few of his parts. The bumper goes right over the NA bumper after removing lights and pads. I also removed another few pounds by trimming the NA bumper and putting on billet bumper hangers, getting rid of the heavy shocks.
