I have seen pictures of lots of EK's and maybe a couple EG's with fogs and FMIC. I don't know how it is done, most likely custom piping. It can be done so it is not impossible!

flip the IC upside down so the piping goes a round the foglights instead of right behind them.

flip the IC upside down? so there is no way to just modify the bracket and does anyone have a pic of this?

I guess you could modify the fog light brackets but its all about the piping (depending on the ic). Just get custom piping and it should be fine.
