ok FMIC lowered
alright dropped the FMIC to a more respectable level
this is about as low i think i can go ...might have to make a bracket of some sort
fogs are also in
one nice thing about the WISE sports Front bumper is that the fogs are bolted in from the back
a nice security
last shot for a while going to tear her down tonight and tomorrow
once again thanks for everything guys
you guys make this ***** worthwhile

your car looks really sweet!!!!
just wondering about the wise sports bumper, i'm pretty sure that you aren't gonna mount your license plate on it... would it be too of work to shave off that area and smooth it out? i think it would look pretty good but at the same time, i like how that are breaks up the squareness of the opening...
anyways, props to your car, one of my favorite bumpers and s/c'ed to boot... that's just a monster... make some room for some trophies

As far as the placement of the intercooler, I don't think anyone was trying to diminish Johnny's vision and efforts, just voicing what may look a little better, which he seemed to be aware of already. I hope you don't take offense to what I just wrote, bro...I just don't think the opinions expressed were intended to disparage what he has done.
Johnny...like I said before, your car looks sick with the new additions. Mad props for the DIY, too. Like Jon's car, I can't wait for the next round, as we all know you've got a lot more in store for us.

for your info , my use of the adjective "horid " was in general i was not reffereing exculsively to johnny 's car, for seeing your memory fails you , i used to have one and i do remember back in the day when you and i used to talk about the rmm gtill we both agreed that the fit sucked .. so stop trying to poke and prod with every opp you get ,, its starting to get annoying..
lets let sleeping dogs lie .. also for your info , i was about to purchase another mems s/c and got screwed out of the deal (johnny knows about that) so as far as stepping up , some can make split second decisions and some prefer to take their time and map everything out finances and all..
do us both a tiny favor and just relax man ..
johnny sorry for going off topic , but i dont want the masses to think that i am trying to put down a nicly done car.. and i think after talking with johnny that a guy of his calibur appreciates good constructive opinions to help further the objective..
its called being open minded
