Posted by 95ESi, Jan-15-01 07:54 AM
I just realized something...does the bumper need to be cut up to fit the fmic from the star stage2??

Mine didn't. it couldn't get the two lower bolts back in the bumper, but i was in no mood to fight the frickin thing, either. i got the top two in, but as far as the intercooler fitting, it's a perfect fit. No bumper cutting.

I'm so bad, i should be in detention.

Oh, that's cool...no need to cut anything. *PHEW* I was prepared to wear all my safety gear again (paintball mask) LOL!

Which two bolts couldn't you get back in?

the bolts on the bumper support brackets?

actually, i needed to trim my bumper reinforcemnt bar just slighty to get the intercooler to fit right. it would hit the intercooler when i slid the bumper back on. I got a 95...so that should be the same, but i don't know if the talons are at all different there. I drove for quite some time without it cut, but i could never seem to get the bumper to go back on right till i trimmed it. the actualy bumper cover though, the urethane part you see actually shouldn't need cut though. just the reinforcement bar. Then again, i also have one of the first, if not the first kits that star made, so you might even have something different there.
