So how will I fit a front lip with a 7" FMIC?

[135Pats]

It's a large core so it protrudes down a bit, and the bumper bulges a bit to accommodate it. I've worked up the stupidity to strap a lot of money to the front bumper while DD'ing in DC, so how will it fit? Just eyeballing it, i'm not sure how it'll fit flush

No one has a front lip with 7" Intercooler?

It will fit fine, slek lip with an ER intercooler fit flawlessly

First off, thx for the response

So the lip fit fine even though your bumper had a bulge downwards in the middle? Or was your bumper totally level to begin with. The ER core is 7", so the dimensions should be almost identical to mine.

I just see a bulge that would appear to make it tough to fit the rigid lip to the edges of the bumper.

Are you sure you installed the FMIC correctly? I don't have one but plan on it in the future. From what I've seen on install instructions there shouldn't be any bulge. I could be wrong though

It's a 7" core so it's appreciably larger than stock. With that said, it was a V1 piece from VRSF, perhaps the mounting tabs are welded on a bit high up on the core, making it sit artificially low. I need to take the bumper off and investigate, I haven't looked in there for months (no reason to).
