FMIC on 99-00 civics w/ oem foglights...what to do, what to do?
heres the dilema. im turning over to the darkside, but when i looked at the space behind my front bumper, the oem foglight housings are in the way of the intercooler piping. i want to keep my fogs because i like the way they look, but if it comes down to it, i guess i could get rid of em. anyone here on this board have a turbo 99-00 civic w/ oem fogs? pics would be nice.
anyways, here is the bucket:
any ideas?

These were Borrowed from TurboSi@RPI on ClubSi (thanks to him)
Okay .. the IC piping hit that long skinny part of the fog light housing.
This is where they used to extend

Have to cut the lower bracket on the fogs... The driver fog housing will push out a little bit.

It depends on what intercooler you're using. Even though I have a Greddy intercooler, I had to cut an excessive amount with the Dremel, and drill another hole higher up in the bracket and add another bolt and nut for support. If your piping is like the silver hatch above, it won't work.
