But figured with way things go with me and him, best to move on. But glad you posted this. Looking at the total area covered, it seems to me that $1290 for the FMIC is for looks. Looks like 40% of it's blocked from actual direct air flow. To get the most out of a FMIC is to use a Fascia designed for it. With the 99 J-Spec designed like it is, makes one wonder if the Z was ever designed for such a intercooling application.
