That is a great DIY FMIC. Good job! I am also wanting to get mine done here soon as well. The only thing holding me up is getting my hands on tubing. I have some sources but I like to shop around.

Looks just like mine, nice work. Have you tried getting the bumper back on there? I had to relocate mine a touch to get the bumper to fit back on without cutting the bottom. You might also need to cut the resesed part of the fog light holes a touch too. Just thought I'd share a couple things to watch out for.

Thanks I have not even tried to put the bumper on yet, I am not afraid to trim the fog lights out expecially since I cut the front bird out. I am also not afraid to cut the bottom off either if I have to as long as it is not affecting the look of the car in a negative sense, I am not afraid to do it.

Looks good and I like what you did to make it fit through the front frame rail. I have the same set up and ran my piping right in front of the radiator and condensor with a U-bend out of the cooler.

I was thinking the same thing looking at the pics.

Congrats on doing it yourself though!
