This big :P





But seriously, about 440 wide and 300 tall is about the limit so yours should fit just fine

flack the front frame on your gts looks very similar to the front frame on the roadster. did you make the inter-cooler or buy it in? either way it looks pretty

Rad/intercooler combo was bought in from GRS, well beyond me to make anything that pretty
