Photo Request: Cusco Power Brace Front Mount on a Evo 8

Has anyone seen Cusco's Power Brace on a 8. Every photo search that comes up has them mounted on 9s.

Wow it actually looks proper on the VIII. On the IX I always thought it was kinda weirdly placed behind the grille. I can imagine it looking awesome with a nose chop.

Too bad this wont work with my Buschur Race FMIC.....but either way, I purchased the STM front bumper beam and I feel it added back the stiffness and bracing that I lost when I had to remove the OEM crash beam.

I'm not sure....

Are you asking about the Cusco bar or the STM crash beam?

If its the STM one, I'm not sure....you should check with STM if their front beam will work with the AMS FMIC...

If you are asking about the Cusco bar, I'm not sure if it'll work with the AMS FMIC though, but it definitely won't work with the Buschur Race FMIC.

Sold. those two pics put me over the edge I was leaning on. I Always thought it was goofy on the 9 too, like it was to exposed and looked like it was an after though (which it is). On the 8 it just seems like it belongs more.

Now it looks like its time for some Cusco goodies.

What FMIC is that? seems a bit small.
