i kinda liked the old one especially narrow bodies with the GT3 kit. i know everyone has it but they look fresh/clean.

my only suggestion is since your not running a front plate is that you should of had the body shop shave the plate holes. would make it look cleaner. otherwise, it looks good

I used the bottom part of my old bumper to fill the gap. I don't think the third radiator attach to those hook points




basically, the new bumper's attachment points go the the old bumper bottom part and you use the old bumper's attachment points to the body of the car.
My ducts where covered at the bottom, so I remove them. Be careful, people that left the old ducts where running hot and I think this will be exponentially bad if you track the car...

joel - you actually cut up your old bumper?
I don't get how the ducts could make the car run hot. the opening is bigger than stock and there is absolutely nothing blocking it? my temp has been fine so far in hot CA weather.

yes, I actually did cut the old bumper! The regular bumper even has a dotted line, like saying "cut right here"

How much time does the bumper removal replacement take you.
Are there any mods needed to fit the turbo bumper.
What skill level do you think! 1 to 10!
Where can I get a new bumper and how much will this turbo bumper cost me.
I have a 03 996 Cab.
