Here are some pics of my Blitz FMIC, as you can see in the second pic I fabricated new piping to eliminate some of the piping. The first pic is with the Blitz and Greddy pipes on the TB side.

Yes i know i shouldnt block the FMIC but its either that or one of the oil coolers. And in the state of NJ, you have to have a front tag or else you get a ticket.

Get the stock plate bracket from Mazda, it puts the plate above the opening so that airflow isn't blocked.

I'm in love. Quick question though, how did you open up the front bumper like that? I've only seen people do it using some sort of spacer, never stand-alone like in your picture.
