Default FMIC - Anyone have install pics?

I'm replacing a Procharger standard 2-core FMIC that developed a leak with a Mishimoto unit. Anyone have install pics showing the front end off and how they mounted their FMIC? Pics are greatly appreciated!

Do you have any pics showing how you bolted it up? I'm trying to figure out if I need to weld 4 custom brackets, 2 custom brackets, or make use of something that's already there. It's hard to see in the pics if you're using the IC's threat mounting studs or not.

Yep, I see now. Thanks! Do you see any need for some type of bracket underneath hitting the lower IC mounting posts to take the weight off that plastic?

I thought about welding two Z-shape brackets underneath the frame to come down and catch those two mounting points. It would basically provide a shelf for the IC to sit on. Then using holes drilled through the plastic just to provide a little bit of top support without putting stress/weight on the plastic.

Any issues with re-attaching the nose without the front bumper support or with the front bumper support cut out like XtremeDime, TX RED and Tally TransAm? Isn't that what the bottom piece pf plastic reaches up and connects to? I already forget from yesterday.
