I'm curious to see how you guys are mounting your fronts mounts. And how you are getting the air to the front mounts.

Specifically the early 4th gen camaro guys. Are you cutting out the black area between the fog lights? can you put a grill there? Does this make the lower part of the bumer flimsy.

 

I hacked the bumper support behind the grill.

do a search for fmic, there are a few older threads with pics too.
i think us TA guys have it the worst

 

On those bar grills, where does it mount to on the bumper? I will most likely cut the center of the bumper out and get one of these grills and paint it black. Just want to make sure I'll have somewhere to attach it.

 

Chris, I'd like to know too how the grill bolts up. Looks good BTW!

 

Its just a small one, but this should give you an idea- I molded in the front around the intercooler itself, and no- it didn't make the bottom flimsy-

 

It sticks on with double sided tape about an inch to either side of the cutout.

Thats the answer i was lookin for. thank you

 

Here's a picture of "work in progress" I haven't trimed the middle of the front end cover, but I plan on removing the center portion and have a mesh style grille to install in the opening.

 

Thanks for the info. I'm glad it's an easy install.

 

Is that a custom job, or a preassembled kit?

I've been contemplating building my own, but I might just go with this kit to save some fabrication time.

I did my FMIC for less than $300.00

I spent 150$ on the intercooler (31x28x4) and ~250$ on pipes, hoses, t-clamps.

 

Yeah, I know it can be done for alot less. I'm just wondering if its worth the fabrication time and hassle to do it myself instead of just buying a kit.

 

I fabricated the parts to make this work. I looked into some pre-fabbed kits, but they just weren't big enough for my liking, not to mention the fact that I really didn't like the routing of the kits. The cost of the intercooler was kind of pricey, due to its size, but as mentioned in some of the other posts, the tubing, bends, t-clamps etc, are reasonably priced. There are some good deals to be had on intercoolers on E-bay if you look around enough though.
