Default FMIC pipe routing question

Just wondering where the typical piping is routed for the fmic on the drivers side.I'm mounting one on my teg and I want to keep the windsheild washer resivoir.do you guys cut a hole in the panel? also do you people remove the bumper beam/support aswell if so how do you re mount the bumper cover after?

ill assume dc chassis, but pretty much you can go under/around the washer res. the piping may hang a little lower but not too bad. then just cut the splash gaurd to fit. kinda depends on what IC you have as well.

kinda like this one, notice it has outlets towards the bottom (pic is of user King Tut33's car)

Find smaller washer res or cut part of yours out of the middle and re seal your resevoir.

im sure most 6" tall cores would work. im using a revhard 27 x 6 x 3 on my 270whp setup. but i say grab a jrc 8" or precision medium with some room to grow.

great work guys but I don't think I'm down for doing it like that. you guys are not nervous about it rubbing on the floor and possibly breaking the IC? any ways I guess i'l either cut and reseal the ww res. or re locate and just hole saw the wall over here we got some crazy weather and I wouldn't ever think about not running the ww fluid! thanks for the pics BTW.

it looks like you cut off the beam,How do you mount the bumper cover after or did you cut until the mounts under the lights? looks clean though.

Rubbing on the floor? ??

No, I did not remove the silly beam that is on USDM cars. I have a Japanese spec car so came from the factory without a useless mph beam. The front bumper is supported by the triangles below the headlights.
