Those With Aftermarket FMIC.....
I just put mine on and I left the bumper support on....wondering if those of you that have an aftermarket FMIC left yours on or not....heres a pic of mine but kinda makes it look small....wondering if it will effect performance since it does cover a good 1/4 of the cooler....if any1 could post up pics of theirs it be great...this is the AMS FMIC...

mine( turboxs) has 2 ways w/ stock bumper. no crash bar or no undertray. i took out the crash bar since i have a gialla front anyway.
this is w/ the original bumper and the crash bar still on but no undertray.( i lost the lower lip in an accident):

Mine is still in, the risk associated with the -35 lbs is just not worth it imo...Granted above 30 mph it wont help THAT much but still...

I have the buschur deluxe, still retain the support, but I've been too lazy to cut up the undertray to put that back on. It looks like quite a bit will have to come off.

The front bar is worth it if its your DD.

Wait a minute...... The AMS FMIC Weights 35 lbs? How much does the stock weight? What about Buschur? Is that heavier? Please someone just let me know how much they weight and if it help their performance in any way.
