wait you have to trim the bumper for the fmic to fit behind the egt bumper? i thought it fits fine behind it?

[pumer1904]

yup their was some trimmming needed for the fmic to fit. you can mount the intercooler lower and their should be no trimming needed but then u have to worry about ground clearance. but me i love whut steve has done and the mounting position on my car is perfect.i got old men in 05 porches doing a double take a look at my car lol ultimate sleeper

Well remember this EGT bumper is on a Protege. On a escort it requires little or no mods depending on the shape of your car.

I had to cut out the bumper support between the 2 mounts. I trimmed the support flush with the bumper for looks and a good fitment with extra room. You only need to cut this much if you are running a fmic. Then I took off a alignment plate on the mounting studs of teh EGT bumper, caue the studs werent quite long enough. Then I had to redrill a mounting hole on each side the car cause the mounting holes arent the same. It took about a hour to get it to mount the way i liked it.
