I removed my front bumper today to find out how huge the bumper support is. I plan on going tubo with fmic but with the size of this thing fitment will be a issue. I need to keep my bumper support front end crashed are no fun. I'd like to see some pics posted showing IC setup. Just looking at it running a front mount with bumper support will require some serious metal massaging. Bring on the pics

Yeah I plan on tackling the job tomorrow just wanted to see some pics. I searched and I got a couple of pictures of the mid mount setup but I'm afraid that won't work for me. I'll report back tomorrow

For my coupe. But its Silvia bumper support and the intercooler is much smaller than most of the 'kits'.

I personally just went to Lowes, grabbed a piece of flat bar and bent it to make a bracket. I guarantee it will be a lot better than the crappy ones you can buy.

^ That's what I did as well. Just some pieces from lowes, drilled the holes out, bent them with a vice, and painted them.
