RE: FMIC question **Update** FMIC Got here today PICTURES***
Ok... Here's some pictures from the install.
Before picture.
Wheels, Wheel liners, and bumper cover off.
Bumper and Headlights off
2 Hoursafter the wheels came off, intercooler is mounted.
Mid-Maintenance Refreshment.
Side Angle
Other Side Angle
Headlight Housing (Gunmetal Silver w/ metal flake)
Up close at finished product
Different View
Lower Grill That was removed.
FMIC took about2 hours to get mounted from the time we started taking things apart until the this was mounted (excluding putting the bumper back on. Still had headlights to do)
Headlights took about an hour and a half to get apart, painted, and put back on. Everything reassembled 45 minutes later.
Angel Eyes didn't get done. One of thelead onone of the Neon rings was pulled out when I opened the box and since it wassome sort of coax and it was broken off down inside the bulb... I couldn't do anything about it. Gotta wait for a replacement bulb.
Drove it shortly after to test it out asnd it definitely changes the sound of the car a little, increases power slightly (feels that way anyhow), and the car really does pull all the way to redline now instead of plateauing or dropping off torque at5k.
All in all, the juice was definitely worth the squeeze.

2 hrs... damn. I wish mine only took 2 hrs. Took me a week (granted I had to fab everything, but still). Your setup is F***ING BEAUTIFUL!!! Good work man! Those blue silicone hoses are the *****! I like the head-lamp setup also on your green...good work.
