i remember seeing a thread about cars with FMIC & foglights. if i remember correctly, they put the FMIC upside down and customized the piping so the foglights would fit correctly. dont bash me on this but i remember seeing something like that.

sounds about right. if you mount it upside down so the piping goes above the foglights it might work. you might have to cut some of the front bumper to fit it though

I'm in the process of a swap and boost for my 2000 Coupe and have the same problem.

It looks like I'm turning the FMIC upside down and installing the N-tercooler upside down as well. If you go that route, just make sure you leave enough clearance for the piping so you don't have to cut away at the actual bumper rebar.

You could shorten the piping, obviously, and add another bend, but you would lose some efficiency.

you can run the piping lower than the lights as well.. as in the photo above, it helps if you have a lip to hide it
