MAM FMIC VS. Perrin Fmic

[505zoom]

Also, I should have mentioned before, no way can you fit a 3.5" core behind the stock bumper. You need the Wings West kit for it to work.

I am running a 3.5" thick core with the stock bumper. The MAM and iON cores were 3.5", and a lot of people were running the stock bumper with those.

How do you not like the WW kit? It's subtle enough to looks stock-ish, but different enough that a trained eye will notice.

Have a look here:

I think that the front looks good, I just hate the wings shooting off the side by the wheel wells.

Ya man. Here's an OLD pic from 2 years ago of how it's mounted. Just L brackets and bolts.

The second pic is after I took al lthe support off my grill so it's just the mesh n stuff, looks WAY good.

is it just me or does the FMIC look shifted to the right?

Yup it is. The MAM pipes do that.

Yup it is. The MAM pipes do that.

There is room to shift it and get it perfect. Like so:

I actually went back to the stock bumper recently on mine. My vote is for fogs though, looks better that way.

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

Like a glove...

Sorry for the enormous pic.

They don't fit "directly" though, you need to design brackets, etc to mount them to the rad support. The back of the WW bumper is just straight through.

 

[SeR_Cyclops]

what did you use to make the brackets?

I forget. It's easy though. You'll see what you need to do.

I epoxied some metal L brackets to the back side of the foglight "cones" on mine. Bolted the fogs to the brackets, overall pretty easy.
