Default Preview with new fmic and question for all 2 pics (thanks)

Please actually read what Ive asked as I have a few specific questions Id like your help with guys

Just got the new huge fmic installed today. Now my question is (I also have a new oem bumper on order and a c/f lip waiting for it) Do i cut the front section more to show more of the intercooler off or leave it.

reason I ordered a new front bumper is cause I have the sides of that one cut out and i think it looks stupid cause you dont see the piping and 2 holes so new bumper ordered and ill keep the vents on teh side but cut out the front (reffering tio main question above).

thanks.

ADDED ENGINE BAY PIC since i changed the wrap that was black and re polished the intercooler piping, what you guys think and does it look stupid with the red connector to the throttle body? meaning should i go back to the blue one/
THANKS

Intercooler is Made by Yonaka and size is 26x12x3

fawk its pretty


see thats what it will look like if i dont cut out the middle section bigger for the huge fmic? so cut it or leave it?


reffer to question in bold.

the intercooler piping in the bay is no longer black. i took off the wrap and re polised it for a different look. I also got all my connectors in red but im still not sure about the red one to the throttle body in the bay. I might want to put the blue one back to match the spoon socks and vin tag. too much red isnt good

After looking at old pics with black wrap on piping in bay and the blue connector to thrtoole body, I think it looks better. please comment on it. Also I have to put back on the itr strut bar, I forgot and I dont have my polished side plats on either. Dont fit as well with new piping in that one side :S

yea the answer is that it doesnt matter, its just a silicon connector, if you really wanted to get picky it could afford to be a black samco, but it really doesnt matter

A black connector to the throttle body would look better. To answer the other question

i have tha one with w/w lip and already have another on order and a c/f lip waiting for that one so ill have 2 either way

Black connector, hum Ima check my suplier now

I think I like this cut out style the most but id probably only go to the holes for the pate and keep the front plate but not only is the eg beautiful, again i think its the best cut out.

please what you guys think about the diff cut outs.
