Very Nice Work!

Very clean piping install. The header panel, not so much :D - but if it's not been an issue over the past year or so (rattles, creaks & groans?) no reason it should ever be.

Can't believe I missed this thread back then.

Heh, nice revival. No issues thus far. I was worries about lens shake with the lights but have not had a single problem with it. Kind of ghetto, kind of awesome.. I'm not sure what to categorize it under

Holy thread revival Hussein!

That red T5 needs more XC bumper ;)

Wish granted.

Would shooting the intercooler black affect its cooling ability at all? I'd want to hide it or put black mesh behind the OE waffle grille to mute it.

Eh, i like the silver intercooler. get a lot of random, "What the?"'s

This is one of the better set ups I have seen on vs so far, I was wondering what all you had to do to make this work since there was cutting involved. do you still have a secondary latch or is it totally deleted? where did you move the horns etc? This is something I would really like to here in the future. Any details would be great thanks.

It took a lot. Latch is gone, no problems after 15k miles. I did move the horns, theres a couple places to attach them under the bumper, impossible to miss.

Looks good now with the wheels and bumper on. Plus nice detail on the red paint. I love red when it is clean and polished.

The center latch is just a safety latch the outer two are the real ones. I hated the thing that stuck out of my IPD grille so I took the center latch off years ago

I sourced everything through eBay. There are more than a couple write up's on here about installing a FMIC though.
