HPF FMIC

Does anyone who has installed their HPF FMIC see or feel that it 'hangs/pushes' the front bumper down a little. I am not worried it's going to fall out or come off, but just looks like it's pushing the front bumper down??? Should I make sure everything is tight?

Mine is okay. You may want to check whether there is a gap at the two mounting screws (not the HPF bracket bolts). If there is then the FMIC would probably sit lower. I hope the two screws will hold. Its a heavy FMIC for sure.

It'll push down the bottom of the front bumper and undertray a little bit but not by a lot.

I've not noted any difference in mine. If it is there, it is too subtle to tell

It may push down a bit, but it defiantly should be too much, I would just re-check all mounting locations and make sure everything is tight.

If something is still off please feel free to call us/Email and we will do our best to help you out!

We haven't had any issue with any units we have installed and haven't heard anything back from those customers either.

Let me know!
