Installed this fmic on my 93 coupe with silvia front and cannot get this bumper to fit on with out hacking out the whole bottom section of bumper and obviously dont want to. I have brackets welded to the top of the metal bumper support as you can see..just want some ideas on how to get this to work, the intercool is 27"L/ 11 1/2"wide and 3" Thick. Need some ideas.

I have yet to ever install a big low mounted FMIC like that without cutting into the bumper cover. In fact, most greddy installation instructions will tell you to cut into the bumper cover.

I've cut quite a bit out already where the big air damn opening is.

did you basically mount it in the same location or is yours closer to the engine then mine?
