Has anyone had any luck keeping the oem fogs lamps on a 4thgen with a Front mount intercooler ? My piping seems like its going to be in the way no mater what I do. I really dont want to ditch my fogs

 

had to ditch mine too cuz of the FMIC
i think mostly everyone else had to too.

ever think of SMIC?

 

top mount and hood scoop ftw!

 

I guess mine are coming out.

 

Mine were just fine.... I cut the center support that the hood latch is on out and I tucked my IC back further. If I even had fogs it would have fit fine.
Max

 

Sorry for the off topic, but can I use 5gen IC piping kit in my 4gen ? with litle mods

 

Thanks for the suggestions. Yeah it should fit you might have to make minor modifcations though

 

hmm.. does cutting that support damage the rigidity of the front of the car? not sure if thats a vital component or a useless bar for the hood.. also what kind of radiator did you run behind it? stock?

what other altercations have people made to make a fmic fit at all?

I'll take some pics of mine in a few minutes, but the bumper support is used for head on collisions.

I cut my bumper support to keep my jdm fogs on.

 

My front bumper was also modifed, I had to remove some material from the bottom and the grill.

 

Anyone want to buy some Yellow jdm fogs pm me

yes you can, i am using an entire 5th gen turbo kit on my 4th gen, and modifying as necessary. 3 out of the 4 pipes fit perfectly, and the last one i simply need to cut 2 90 degree bends off and weld a straight section on. this is due to the different wastegate placement from having a different manifold between H22 and 23's.

hahahahaha, i'm doing exactly the same. can get some good $$$ for the yellows


this is how my 6" is mounted, didn't cut ANYTHING from the bumper support, and i CAN'T use my fogs. FYI.

 

^^^keep up the work, Is your hot and cold side piping the same size?


maybe i'll take some pics with the bumper on.

 

My setup is the Same as Ludster and I'm not having any probs with the fogs needing to come out. I had to trim things a it to keep them but they are still there. I had to chop my entire hood mounting bracket all the way out though. I just didnt want to take out my RE-Bar and tilted it back a bit. If you want a pic let me know.
