Default FMIC on a trans am, keep the foglights?
I know some guys have kept their foglights while having a front mount intercooler. To those who have, did you make your own brackets? How did you do this? any pictures of what you did would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

does EPP sell the brackets separately? I do not need their FMIC kit as TurboLs1ss is making one for me. Looks simple enough to whip up some brackets and just mount them to the IC

You can ask them if they sell the brackets, or can make your own. They have a few pics on their website.

Last I knew, no they do not offer those brackets. They were a one off build.

But, yes they are very simple brackets. If you can get ahold of some good 1/4" flat stock & weld aluminum, your good to go.
