What are my options for getting air to my stock SMIC. I currently have no ducting solution.

In the premier issue of Project Car magazine, an off-shoot of Super Street, they took a '89-'90 hatch and dropped in a SR with the side mount and they cut four or five small holes in the bumper where the side mount is located. It turned out pretty good. It might even look stock if the holes were square.

you can always get the jdm bumper with the vent already there.

the vent looks just like it does on this bumper, but on a stock pignose bumper.

oh, and some times on ebay you can find just the vent, then make the cut in your stock bumper to mount it, and give it that clean oem look

Is this the pop-ups or a Silvia front bumper?

Its a popup (pignose) bumper. I can just cut a hole in the bumper, but i have no ducting to make sure air goes through the SMIC.

Just cut a hole in the bumper and vents or a hole in the front fender liner and air will get through.
