Default For those who have experience with the ebay FMIC...

How difficult is it to install? Can I keep my fog lights? Thanks!

Default Easy if you are handy with a dremel. Takes a little patience and some thought, but nothing a

6 pack a beer can't solve.

Doubtful on the fogs, possible, but doubtful. You'd have to use narrow piping (2"..maybe 2.25") and really get those pipes in tight.

Hmm...I'm pretty sure a 6-pack would give me slightly less coordination with the dremel

Default 2nd. Just have to see the big picture on how things should layout.

I used a grider with cutoff wheel on the bumper support, I doubt a dremel would be enough. It works but would take forever.

Default what about the "new and improved piping"? .....

i bought a fmic off ebay and was gonna do custom piping for it, but a few months later before i got a chance to fab my own piping, they came out with a set of pipes. so i bought em, just to see if they fit. Only cost me $330 shipped. Should have them tom. So ill update you.

Yeah I read that too, 'new piping'. I'd be very interested to hear how it goes. Thanks.

Default I just installed 2 of them on Sunday with another member

It is a great looking/fitting kit. I made a mounting bracket that is fully adjustible up and down and left and right. It is light weight and pretty stealthy. I think I could get the power steering cooler to become a part of the mount too.
