Is that a Cianci bumper?

I like that hood, do they make it for 1st gens?

what made you to change the setup? the second core looks lower.. you choose a lower core because it allows more air to flow around the intercooler instead of through it ? ..so it does not restrict the airflow to the radiator so much ?
version 1:
Version2:

i removed some pics that showed the differences better, but to go down the list:
Setup 1 has polished SS piping and ebay IC core. Removed due to a piping issue that I didn't like later on and to ditch the crap HKS BOVs. Also wasn't impressed by the ebay core's efficiency.
Setup 2 has GReddy kit, 2nd generation I believe (not the 3SX kit, not the GTPro kit). Basically "as stock" but tweaked a bit to keep stock fogs.
Setup 3 is basically same GReddy kit with a couple different couplers and moved to a new location: Rotated to not be perpendicular with road. Also modified for 13T housings. No more fogs but not because of interferance. Brake ducts were designed to be a part of the IC ducting on this version.
Setup 4 is same GReddy kit, only with a different BOV setup and ducting arrangement. Also changed brake ducts to new stock fog location.
Setup 5 currently under way: Relocated front turbo charge piping, which didn't happen during setup 3 due to time constraints.
The hood is from Deft, and is available for 1st gens as well. I think they call it the GT300. Also available from most other places like Chaser. Mine is modified to fit my car's non-standard front end with the latching stuff removed. Hood pins are from Aerocatch.
As for lower core, no, that's not why I chose it. My ducting defines how much air bypassed the core.
