I dont think they are dangerous there because the bumper is lower than the lines and it wont be that low on the front because of the porsche wheels- why do you think it is dangerous?

dont think i will get it in between the rad and intercooler though.im going to be using a standard red top one.nic does it make a lot of difference to your engine temps?as mine climb quickly after a short thrashing.

yeah normal drving is under 90 for me also. if i kick its face in on the drag strip it doesnt really move that much. its normally being sat in traffic where it rises. over about a 10 mile ass kicking session the other week it got to just under 95 degrees.

mine rises in traffic but that fan manages to keep it down,but if im thrashing it for a long time it goes right up.but then you have a big cut out in your bumper and i dont.maybe im not getting enough air flow through,time for some cutting.
