When I installed my HKS FMIC I had to cut a nice bit out of the top and bottom of the frontbumper whole. Didn't like the idea at the time, but don't regret it now.

oh and pomanferrari: I like the way they look not painted black. It kinda matches the polished theme of the intercooler and some engine bay stuff.

You didn't have to cut the top? I had to cut all those little tabs off the top so they wouldn't poke the intercooler. The tabs that held that plastic piece to mount a front license plate. Maybe other year didn't have this. Mine is a 93

I recommend all of those that are contemplating saving up or not to save up and add up for the FMIC.
Its soooo worth it. Boostin into 3rd and 4th gear spinnage is the ****!!

Watch your water temps now that most of the air is getting used by the FMIC.. I just fabbed an underbelly and scoop that directs air to the koyo. My temps were up to 240 cruising!!!!! Now they are never above 190 even at full boost for a long time! I have the greddy kit though. That is a very nice car!!. Also the scoop i fabbed acts somewhat like a support for the lip.( like yours) And your supports look good!

Def a bad *** part. My water temp were pretty high after I installed it, but not to high to worry about it, just higher than normal. I drove it with the stock radiator for about 6 months before I finally got my PWR which dropped water temps 10+ degrees C on the Power FC.
