ok so i removed the relay mounting bracket, coolant reservoir tank (moved and replaced), hood latch brace, horns, the wiring harness running to the front (was for horns and relays, i moved them so i moved the harness), and little other things.

Mounted my FMIC where the hood latch is, hood latch is still functional, FMIC stays stealthy yet effective. In the pics it seems unlevel, but it is level, it's just i need to trim the bumper better it plays visual games with your eyes lol.

The mounting things used are actually old brackets that used to hold the ABS pump to the engine bay, i think. I took them off, bent their mounting bracket part 90 degrees and *walaah* had rubber bushing-ed mounting brackets to prevent rattles

.

now to do the piping, which i figured out it's routing already.

The second to last pic is to show it doesnt hang any lower then any other piece under the car.

And the last pic is of my ghetto-rigged waterpump neck thing.

enjoy,

kevin.

Looks nice, what I would do with that intercooler is block off the sides with sheet aluminum or something to keep air from going arround it instead of through it at speed.

yea i had to cleanout a bunch of **** upfront but it pretty much fits as if it should be there stock lol.

it stays cold too and the fan pulls air through it when idling. if i pop the hood after driving around thetop of the FMIC is frozen.
