Front mount ic?

**krystalized_jdm** · 07-05-2011, 12:11 AM

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.

Nismo, could I check out how you did it some time as I want to install an FMIC this summer.

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.
