installed my ets 3.5 fmic with ets licp and i cant seem 2 get the bumper back on my ix is there any triickk i should know about pls help thankz

 

any1 with ets chime inn

 

are you tryin to retain your front crash beam??

if so then take it off and it should fit right on...

 

what do you mean can't get it on??

make sure the top parts are lined up then push up from the sides under the wheel wells once the front parts are in place

 

crash beam isnt the issue it feels like something is in the way om the passenger side car is just sitting in the garage. hopefully i can figure it out tomm b4 work

 

any1 with a ix help me try 2 find the problem

 

I don't have the easy answer for you, but I had a little trouble getting the bumber back on as well. I just had to play with it a while to get everything properly lined up.

To start, go back and check to make sure the IC is bolted in correctly and is not sticking out too far.

 

Post some pics and let us see what you are talking about.

 

I dont have a IX but I do know that ETS parts have been some of the best fitting stuff Ive ever installed on my EVO

Only thin I can think of is one of those black plastic pieces that are behind the bumper and next to the headlights are slightly touching the IC.

The 3.5 fits with ease behind the front bumper crash bar

 

I just installed my ETS 3.5" intercooler today and had zero issues with the bumper going back on, granted this was on my VIII. What I would look at is to make sure your t-clamp bolts are facing down and not forward. That might be the problem.

 

+1

 

there should be some metal brackets that might need to remove.
i did that with my xs engineering.

 

dude look around? place the bumper and see what its hitting, not so hard...

 

figured out the problem today it was the licp thankz for the advice
