Shine for my Grill, JHM FMIC!!!

[theboogieman1]

I just got my car back late last night with the front mount installed. I decided to go out today and snap a couple pics for fun. I have to say I'm really impressed with how clean it came out. Just wanted to share.

looks nice. Any chance of saving the fogs?

Too tight, not enough room to spare for the stock fogs, maybe a set of aftermarket ones.

I'm in Redwood Shores by the Oracle building. The pic was snapped out just off 92 and 280, down by the reservoir.

Sweet man, looked good in person too

Hey, I think I saw you on my way home last night too. It was somewhere before Pleasonton. Was that you?

[Das General]

Any thoughts on performance?

I used to rock this badboy FMIC but I never got to get a true feeling of the performance difference.

Ha, funny you ask that. Oh yeah I feel a difference....but I guess that could be result of the stage 3 upgrade that happened at the same time. So I can't really give any thoughts to what the front mount gave me. Sorry, but the car feels real good over all.

[LIFES4]

how much did you get it installed for and where? fmic price?

[Matt@JHM]

Nope, don't think so. Wasn't in that area.

hahah yeah...that will happen. at least you know you will be able to do run after run after run.

[theboogieman1]

I had so much other work done I don't know where it fit in. I had Jason at JHM install it for me so you'll have to contact him.

Thanks man! It's been great so far.

[theboogieman1]

I guess I've just been seeing a lot of S4's lately then. I had a red one go by and I thought it might be you.

[AudiSportB5S4]

looks great, good luck on stage 3 its a lot of fun!

[DGAFxxx]

Very clean!

[theboogieman1]

Thanks! I'm loving it so far. Big thanks to JHM for all his work on it. It seems like a lot of people want to race now, it's funny. And for some reason my car even seems to look better now that it full Stage 3, hahaha.

[BastardS4]

Unlike the competition, these REQUIRE hacking your bumper. :)

[RenegadeEngr]

The dude's you smoke off the line will never know what your packin...looks good

[PinoyS4]

Yeah man, Jason and I were talking about you. I actually might be stopping by again tomorrow for an EGT.

[theboogieman1]

That's for sure. I just had a Mustang GT roll up and tell me were going to go on three. Next thing you know I'm at the next stop sign waiting for him to catch up. At least he was cool about it. First time for me, but gotta find a safer place next time.

[S-Power]

Congrats

Im also goin down to JHM to get my FMIC installed by Jason

[speedydragon]

Yeah man, Jason and I were talking about you. I actually might be stopping by again tomorrow for an EGT.

oOo I'm stopping by Rector tomorrow morning as well.

[BurnAll4S4]

thank you for posting a colored image so we can really see whats going on.

[Dr.Duct]

is the bad fitment of your bumper, due to the FMIC?

[2ndEngineS4]

I had so much other work done I don't know where it fit in. I had Jason at JHM install it for me so you'll have to contact him.

How long did you leave your car with him? Did I meet you on the day that you brought the car down?

[BurnAll4S4]

nah i have a ebay fmic with custom pipes and my edges clip in mint...the sag in the middle below the grill though...thats due to lack of support :(

[theboogieman1]

How long did you leave your car with him? Did I meet you on the day that you brought the car down?

Yeah we probably did meet, I think I dropped it off 2 weeks ago.

is the bad fitment of your bumper, due to the FMIC?

As for the fitment, I'll take another look but it all looks like it did when I brought it in. Not sure, but it could be the pic that may make it look like that....I haven't noticed it. I thought it looked clean.

[readimag]

yeah, love the look of that fmic, in your pic the drivers side looks like a gap near the wheel well.

[theboogieman1]

thank you for posting a colored image so we can really see whats going on.

What is a colored image going to give you that you can't see here? The car is let's say...black, the front mount is.....uh silver, and the hoses are black. Just the same as in the pic I posted. It's not like the front mount and pipes are bright pink or anything.

[theboogieman1]

I see now, I'll take a look when I get a chance. Like I said might just be the pic.

[2ndEngineS4]

I had the silver '00 that was sitting in the shop. Man, I thought you were just in for a new clutch, I didn't know you were going full stage III. So when are you coming to the track? Now that it's almost broken in, it's time to start breaking mounts and CV shafts. . . muahhh.

[Dr.Duct]

Gap between the fenders and bumoer is not normal

[sweetmeat]

Cant wait to see more guys running this setup. Im contemplating this over my AWE SMs.

[BlackS4TT(Josh)]

I'll be an asshole and post pictures of my piping too...

No center mesh:


With center mesh:


Some rolling shots that my friend took:

Yeah it might be a little worse but I did have a little gap before, I have some older pics I'll check out when I get a chance. It looks fine from the side... weird.

its easier to tell gaps with an image being colored. instead of seeing a large dark area.

I'll post up the colored one in a bit.
