How can I use JDM Bumper Support with FMIC?
    After you've removed your bumper, removed stock bumper support, installed your FMIC, etc, etc, grab your JDM support and a notch in both ends like this. Please note that this is the BOTTOM of the bumper support.

    This pic shows why we have to cut the bumper support. The bottom part has a ridge on it (presumably the bumper bolts to it) that gets in the way of the front mount.

    And one more pic, notice the bolt holes don't line up.

    After you've cut everything and removed that section of metal, everything should fit perfect, like this:

    And here is what the cut looks like. There are a few holes already drilled in the bumper support, so I just basically connected the dots, and it worked out fine. Round off your edges afterwards if you can with a dremel or something similar.

    Please note, there IS a top and bottom to the bumper support. Even though in the pics, it's right, when I actually bolted mine down, it was upside down and EVERYTHING sagged, it was disgusting. And it blocked about 5 rows of intercooler fins sagging so much. So PLEASE look at how mine is positioned pics.
