Bumper for airflow and downforce?

Haven't bought my supe yet but thought I better get the research in now so that I know what parts to get when I do get her :D. Basically been wondering what bumper would be best to house a nice big FMIC, and have enough slats to accomodate air ducts towards either dual oil coolers or brake/intake ducts.

And by house I mean provide as much airflow (and downforce although not soo much of a problem with the correct suspension and geometry setup i think...)

Thanks in advance!

 

P.s. I think supra chat may be more appropiate than technical as i imagine there will be some debate :D!

As long as it's properly ducted any bumper will do, pretty sure I recall someone (maybe CW) saying that the intake for any given radiator area can be as low as 33% so even the stock bumper will provide enough air as long as it's ducted. The stock bumper also has nice ducts ready for oil coolers or brake ducts.

 

Have a look at the Whiffin cars (Paul, Steve & Ben's) as they have got a load of ducts on the front of their track cars for coolers/brakes etc.

 

PS I'd be more concerned with the fitment of the bumper, OEM is perfect, or a good quality aftermarket.

Haha well thats got me sorted in one lol :D. Thanks for that! I had been looking at Whifbitz cars but just considering my options! I don't just want a bumper for looks, has to be functional as well :D.
