The evo fmic use the factory brackets. Not sure about others.

You could use brackets. It would make the fab work more difficult and time consuming. I used a bar. It seems to be the easiest way to go thats why you see most people do so. Any reason why you dont want to use a bar?

No reason other than i dont have one right now and i really wanna put it on my car haha

I've seen some put on crooked ....maybe somthing was in the way? i do know its best to take off the front bumper, but id mark that rail under the radiator where the horizontal edges of the bumper mounth are so you can find center ect... and use a level and/or measuring tape haha. my kit came with some aluminum bendible universal brackets. get some thin metal, a vice, a hammer and a hack saw.

Why wouldn't you want to mount it with mounting bars?

I bolted my first FMIC to the crash bar with a couple pieces of 90° angle iron.

I drilled two holes in the crash beam and bolted mine right to it. I also trimmed the crash beam abit and it still holds up great.

I just bolted it directly to the core using factory mounting holes.

Well i have sum long bolts that i was thinking about using.....i was going to drill thru where the center portion of the bumper mounts by the hood latch and mount it there then find a way to support the bottom
