HRC FMIC on sale

...and yes I got one. I was going to wait until it got here and post some pics, but I don't know how long the sale will last and wanted other people to be able to get one. Their site says $999.00, but I got one cheaper. Dial Brad at ext. 108 and tell him Shawn W sent you. I don't get any kickbacks or anything, but he might cut some deals if he knows who referred you. I'm putting it on my with the smiley bumper, and I'll still post some pics when it gets here if anyone is interested. It isn't phenomenal savings, but if you were already going to get one anyway (like me) now would be a good time.

Now I'm really jealous, that's the front mount I'm saving for but I wont have the cash for another couple months. How hard was the install? How much of the bumper did you have to cut? How much did it effect the engine radiator temperature? Like a kid in a candy store I'm drooling.

Install is a snap. The 2 parts that weren't any fun were rusty bolts breaking (car came from up north) and cutting the bottom lip of the bumper. You have to measure and take your time. The bumper has a slight curve and your cutting it straight to fit in front of the intercooler. If you make it crooked it will be obvious. Don't be affraid of it though...the results are well worth the effort. I ended up cutting about 1" toward the front of the car from the center of the bumper and straight accross in both directions toward where the fog lights were; if you can picture that. My coolant temps are a couple of degrees higher than before the install, but it was cold the last time I logged any runs and warm when logging after the intercooler install.

Thanks for all the compliments.
