retained the bumper support ends, welded some extra support brackets to them and bolted the passenger side on but had to gut the drivers side so I could run the intercooler pipe inside and welded that it on the body.



painted the intercooler black

Pretty sure there is but I just grabbed something off the shelf seeing how it's guaranteed to get chipped from rocks and road debris

I had a turbo blanket on my white maxima and sold it, felt it retained in too much heat. The only reason I had it on the white car was because the exhaust was in direct contact with the upper rad hose and if not for that would never have purchased it. On this setup I moved the turbo over to fix that problem but I am going to get the housing swain coated one day. FYI the car is much farer along than the updates show and I've already put over 600 miles on the setup with zero issues related to heat and the fuse/relay box
