can u hide a FMIC with a grill. i was thinking about doing a cwest front end with the greddy 2row but id rather people not realize im running with a FMIC. do u think if there was a grill infront it would hide it or would it just look like the evo's, a huge *** intercooler behind a screen door.



keep the grill man better off getting **** stuck in there than a intercooler.

hmmm...i guess if you combine the plastic into one section it might take up 25 % of the opening? If that was cut out I would think that any debris that did get up and in there would just hit the radiator, but probably just get tossed onto the undertray...



not sure that it would help too much with cooling...but I don't think it would be harmful if taken out...

Yes.. i did cut out the small so-called "Grille" It is basically just plastic 'sections' if you will.



cutting them out doesnt exactly help anything. just clears up the front fascia of the car...



making it look slightly better. Off topic, but somewhat related..__- When i had my car painted it was done 'california style' per se' : Everything was painted... body stripps and around my rear brake area... leaving just the color of the lenses and lights. It looks quite well. Makes it look more like a series 5, which is what i wanted to begin with. Well. Enough, i will post a photo so you all can see



How do i post a photo?
