#49592, "HRC FMIC: Will it fit? Or does the bumper have to be hacked?"


          

As part of my turbo kit, I'm going to use a HRC FMIC. Question is, will it fit without modifying the bumper? Or will I have to cut it up to fit?

Thanks,
Corey

i had to cut a section out of mine. i should have taken pics, but i forgot... we used XtremeRS' hand jigsaw till the blade was like a butter knife (it was already dull i think?), then we just used a circular saw. muuuch better.

I had to cut out quite a bit to get it in there.

You absolutely have to modify it. Not too much though. Just a shave off the back side of the air dam and a little from the left fog light pocket (for piping). But you also have to modify the 5 MPH bumper. Many guys just leave it off, but I highly recommend modifing it and putting it back on. I used a air cut off tool. Buzzed right through in about 5 minutes total time. Then I had whole bumper repainted!! emoji
