Pics of stock front bumpers w/ FMIC
Just wanted to see some pics of your S5 FC front ends with an FMIC installed. I've heard that you have to cut the bumper in order to make some cores fit and I was just wondering what the general end result looks like.
Thanks.
Thanks.

You do have to cut the bumper for some of the bigger cores.
I use the new style greddy core, and its huge ... I did take quite a bit off the inside of the bumper, but you dont notice it by looking at it unless you get up super close. My car isnt in any shows, so I dont mind too much. If someone wants to get on their hands and knees and look back under to see my not so perfect grind I made here and there, so be it. lol

Do you still get sufficient air flow for the FMIC with the bumper like that? I'm trying for 400-450 RWHP and I don't want to leave anything to chance cooling wise.
Also, the whole reason that this started was because I don't want to wait until I install my FMIC before I put the car into the body shop. At the same time, I don't want to pay to paint the bumper and then have the shop cut it to bits when they install my V-SPL.
Hope you guys can follow that, I'm not even sure that I understand it myself.

My setup is different. Spearco core. You can't even see the FMIC, and I get to keep my bumper support and my brake ducts...
