A question about a particular front end ground effects set-up

A while back like in uhhh 1995 or there abouts, i was at the GS Nats, and there was a all white T-Type, with a 1 piece front bumper cover/ bumper fillers/spoiler front ground effects package.

It had a rather large opening in the front from the bottom of the spoiler to and through the bumper, just right below the step of the bumper, it was the same width as the grille opening.

The setup was intended to relocate the radiator to the lower opening and to put the inner cooler where the radiator was, it included in the kit a custom made radiator support to do that.

Wanted to know if anyone had any info on if that set up is still available or who I could contact to find out.

heres a pic I know I have one that is better

in the smaller pic its the with the 2 black openings stacked in the front of the GN




Thanks ahead of time

I remember seeing these in the "Turbo" magazine in the early to mid 90's. They were in the vendor section but I don't remember who made them but I doubt that they are still available unless someone has one ratholed back somewhere. There used to be alot of GN and SYTY stuff in that mag but its all Rice now.

its hard to tell, how big is this piece? Is it the entire nose cone w/ bumper, fillers and air dam, or just a lower air dam they molded on other pieces?
