Default There are FMIC's that fit without removal of any body panels

Another side mount on the passenger hasn't been done yet. With the stock bumper the OEM IC (and if there were one on the passenger side) get little air. If you are going to spend the bucks, might as well get a front mount.

Default Possibly if he knows where it can be mounted.

They have FMICs that are a little under $800 from SPP as well as the usual $1000+ ones (APR, EVOMS, etc.)
