I have the 4" and I love it! I couldn't fit the undertray back on, but I didn't try all that hard One guy I'm helping tune got one this week and was able to get his undertray on.

I was going to paint/anodize it black after I tested it out. It just looks so damn sexy unpainted!

Tiago,
Do you recommend removing the OEM tow hook?

Update: I just checked under the car and the reason I can't get the undertray on is because of the tbolts (threaded part) are sticking below the bumper line. No big deal.

Installed mine a few days ago,and honestly, I was not impressed with the quality. It seemed to have rough edges and casting marks everywhere. Not to mention, 2 of the 3 tabs did not line up right, so i had to play around with it, and bend the tabs to make it sit right. The crash beam went on right with no issue or rubbing, so cant complain there. All i all, for the price its acceptable, although Im starting to wish i would have saved my money and went with an ETS piece. Just my .02

i have one and i havent seen any issues with it. although i did have an incident to where i was parking into my friends driveway and didnt see the big *** hole in the grass where i was pulling into. the front end of the car fell in the hole and pushed the intercooler on to the tow hook. luckly it just bent the bottom plate and a couple of fins but no leaks have occured because of it.

Does anyone have any feedback on gains compared to the stocker or other FMICs for that matter? Still think the price is hard to beat compared to a name brand 4"...

To the OP. It's not as shiny, but I think it looks great and functions great on my VIII!

I may go with ETS when I build my project due to the size.
