Default Post pics of FMIC on a SS

Sorry if this is a repost. Search not much help. I have seen several WS6 front ends with FMIC. Does anyone have pics of a SS with FMIC? Do you just cut away the entire middle section of the grill area?

I saw that black SS pic on your website. Any problems with that setup? Does it get enough airflow?

I second that. It looks great for 15 minutes, then its dirty again. Did you use a buffer to get your paint so smooth? I love the big opening on the Camaros, very intimidating.
