Could a person just hack the front radiator support to get a more open shot to the SC intake?
From what I see, there may not be much more that can be hacked in Post #10. Can't tell for sure, but looks like there is some material to be cut right next to the radiator/condenser....

I agree with Senna, don't let the intake stop you! I cut a bit away and did my own intake, as you can see from the pictures (Post 10 of this thread). I am working on finishing it still, but it seems pretty "janky", even though it won't look bad. The stock, non-Nismo bumper cover doesn't like an air filter of that size right there though, so it feels weird putting everything back together.
Bewhitey, another forum dude, 3D printed and posted the blueprints for an intake option, along with part numbers, so there's another option. His option required a little more cutting than I was comfortable with, which is whyI worked on my own solution. Follow this link:

Optimiser worked wit a shop for his option (Post 3 of this thread)
There would be a solution by the time your filter got dirty enough to make a real difference, in my opinion. I haven't seen anyone do a "before and after cleaning" post or anything like that. I wouldn't be expecting dyno, but pressures would be nice.
