agreed and agreed, the only drawback to the dual factory coolers is cost.

The advantage is that they help aero effects a lot, the cooling air is dumped into a low pressure region just ahead and outboard of the front tires.

Maybe we are talking about 2 different bumpers? Here you can see the front bumper and that it is 12 inches top-to-bottom. The front trunk area, from the bottom of the fenders level to the bottom, is 13.5-14 inches, depending on what you define as the "bottom".

Yes, you bumper is not correct for a 964.

right


the bumper you have is for a 911 chassis w/ central mounted cooler, I suppose it can be adapted but that's a lot more work.

Yes, unfortunately I'm stuck with having to save money and slave away. I really don't have much of either to spare, but having to choose one, extra time is my only option. I got the bumper and fenders for $300 locally. The fenders fit like crap but but I finagled them on and they will do the job - same story with bumper.

In case I haven't said so this is a low budget race car. Just want to get out there and need all the spare $$$ I can save for tires, entry fees, gas, etc etc etc.
