fmic question

[nath86]

Been doing a bit of research on here and found a couple of guides on fitting fmics. But wanted to know if it was possible to fit one on a 180 without loosing the fog lights.want to try and keep it as stealth as possible.
This is the kit ive been looking at. Wont be for a while yet tho

apparently the forge fmic u wont lose fogs as it more compact but does the job

Just looked it up yes its more compact but a just over 600 notes its a bit steep when ive read that the toyosport also gives good results

the forge one is dearer,but fits good,you cant fit the toyosports without losing the fogs,it took me a whole day trying to fit the toyosports intercooler, i then realised i was a pipe missing,there are no fitting instructions with the toyosport kit,it was only after i found a thread on here,that i had a pipe missing

What was the customer service like when you told them about missing pipe. The thread i found on the toyo showed that they had cut away most of the bottom grill. Can you get away without doin this ?

I didn't have to cut the any of the grills all that's still on the car. I just lost the fogs with I never used anyway

they sent me a complete fitting kit,was hust hassle,as i needed the car for work,i lost both fogs,it was a lot of trial and error,as i had to keep trying the front bumper to see if i cut enough away,the front bumper never sat totally flush like it did before the cooler

Ah right. Do you guys think there is any way something could be modded to make the fogs fit ?

I don't think so as they protrude to far in.

 

[nath86]

Fair enough. At least i dont have to loose half the bumper tho
