  • Front mount ic?

    Buying myself a new front mount up from the crappy oem smic. I went to go look + measure what I could clear without cutting or mashing up my bumper... Sadly. I don't see, anyroom with the A/C. Obviously I can just take out the ac but I'm still very limited.

    Just wanted some insight to see what you guys have done to get this to work.

      i just put a fmic on my car. didnt need to remove the a/c or anything and it also fit behind the rebar. however because the middle vent in the bumper goes so far back i had to cut some of the vent away.

            There should be plenty of room. I had a fmic on my 89 GTST and all I had to do was trim a little off the inside of the bumper cover. The hardest part was routing the piping.

                Sorry, I guess I didn't specify my exact car. Its a four door hcr32

                Its the same bumper as this. They're is only about 3"-4" clearance w/ the a/c.

                          I'd like pictures from the top by hood release + if you have any pictures of it off the car when it was cut that'd be awesome (don't hassle yourself, if you dont have em dw)

                          Plus anything else you'd like to add.

                          There is **** for import dealers/retailers here. If I mangle my bumper, I'm s-o-l or have to pay a damn **** ton to ship one here.

                          Thanks for the replies guys!

                              Would that kit actually work on a SKYLINE not a 240/180? It says rb20. Not sure how it'd fit in my engine bay/front end.
