The intercoolers can go towards the outside of the car more because they have angled side tanks, they merely hit the side marker light housings,and they also just barely touch the fenders inner lip, which can easily be trimmed as its behind the valance panel seam. I am thinking of cutting the marker light housing protrusion off and hot gluing small led bulbs to the housings flat surface, this would gain me more then a 1/2" to slide the intercoolers toward the fender and put the hole in the lower valance where the turn signal was more to the center. I likely dont have a entire 1/2" before I touch the fender sides but would give me wiggle room to play with!
I also came up with a plan for the turn signals, since I have not yet finished my new split bumpers, I will mill a 3/8" slot in the front and add a led amber strip to the inside of the bumper, should look pretty slick when done. I also have to make new outside brackets for the bumpers, but that looks pretty simple from the bottomside view anyhow.
