[s-cars] FMIC - provide real answwers

[chris chambers]

Ok, so just because you don't agree with what he wants why is it so
hard to politely answer his question instead of making jokes? :-)



Brian,

Don't take their jokes to heart, you should have seen what they said
when I inquired about cupholders! :-)

there are if I recall correctly 2 commercially available FMIC's
for the UrS4. Unfortunately they both cost about $2000-$2500.
Others have managed to use readily available intercooler cores,
and stainless steel turbo piping to make their own. This DIY route
has netted good results at a cost I believe of about $600.

As to getting any look you want, go look at the front of your car and
you will quickly realize it will require cutting away of your bumper
and perhaps the bumper core in order to be able to see the FMIC you
install.

Due to the cost I personally wouldn't go this route just for a look,
but
that decision is obviously up to you.
