looked for some fmic...
saw some nice ones from SPP, EVO, Greddy. EVO was kinda pricey. Does anybody have good experiences to share about their EVO fmic. Wondering if its worth the extra cash. BTW if i bring my fmic to a shop how much should i expect to pay for install? hey guys can i see some pictures of nice cars ( that be everyones but mine haha ).

Most FMIC's will require modification of the front bumper and bumper support...
This is why most people have a RS4 or S4 bumper as they have more space to work with...
My former car had the Forge FMIC on it, but we had to do a lot of modification to make it fit...
Stock bumper + Oettinger front lip...

Speaking of FMIC - is engine overheating an issue?
Looking for people, esp. those in the south (90+ degrees), to comment on whether a FMIC will cause engine to overheat, due to the fact that it blocks the cooling to the radiator.
Thoughts?
