Overall it is a very nice looking piece with near perfect welds, installation was easy but the IC has a hard time fitting behind the bumper on the drivers side. When I fist did the install i used a level on both the radiator support and also on the IC core. The 2 side brackets that came with it could have been a little stronger and will probably re-fabricate my own. The core sits about 2 inches lower than stock, why? I don't know. The bottom 3 rows have no direct air flow hitting them. Then the tow hook is about 2cm away from the back side of the core, and if your car is lowered this isn't the IC for you. If you somehow hit the bottom of the IC which WILL happen the tow hook will get pressed into the back of the core and tear a little hole.

I now have to fire up the TIG welder today and patch the hole and cut off the tow hook.

Would I recommend this piece? Yes it has very nice power gains and looks great. And very easy install.

Great IC, bad company.

 

Has anyone else had the issue with the tow hook?

 

you might regret cutting that hook off one day...

 

Ya, that is our older FMIC from about 6months ago. We recently redesigned the whole kit an our using a different core/entank/bracket set up to fit better and sit higher.

 

I'd like to hear some more opinions from people who have this FMIC.

 

Wow. If thats the case send me a price PM'ed. I really like this IC but having the car lowered to the point that the front bumper is only about 2" from the ground. Post up some new pics as well.

Ryan can I have a job out there? I can be you royal pain in the @ss employee/customer.
