Mounted my CCA FMIC Today!!

Re:Mounted my CCA FMIC Today!!
I noticed that. On the EG's they seem to belong there. It's like Honda new what was going to be done. I have renamed the bumper support, the "Intercooler support beam".
On an EF it isn't as perfect though. Some serious hacking of the bumper is involved, but you know it's worth it.

I haven't notched them yet, but I plan on it. It doesn't really make a huge difference, but it will look a little nice when the bumper is off. No big deal, though. I did find it a little tighter when I was putting the bumper back on, like where it mounts to the fenders behind the headlights.

The intercooler looks great!! To fit mine in.. i took the easy way out... i had a 9 inch metal grinder... ya, it melted the crap out of it, but it is my bad bumper anyway, so i wasn't to worried about it. I think any civic in general looks that much better with a nice fmic on it

I used the softest stainless wire wheel on a cordless to clean it up.Then I used 220grit,320,400(wet sand),600(wet sand),mediun steel wool and then fine steel wool.That gets it Ready for Mothers Aluminum polish on a bufing wheeel on the end of a cordless drill.Get your sunglases and wipe the mothers polish off.BLING,BLING!!
Its not as hard as it sounds.It took me 1/2 hour to do it.Well worth it IMO.
