I got a fmic from e-bay for $269 with pipes, it was a copy of the turbo xs one.The kit do not include the mounting braket so it took 3 days work to cut and shape the original bumper braket to fit it.Then I found out that the pipes dont match with each other, the curves are not right, so even there I had cutting to do, then once up they would pop off the hoes every minute because they are in steel and the edge has no grip for the silicon hoes, so I ended up going to a specialist here in my town that builds rally cars and he made me a full alluminum pipe kit that is unbrakable, but it took another 5 days a lots of money.At the end I waisted 2 weeks of work and ending up spending almost the same amount of money I would have spent for a real kit, on top of that the stress of this whole problem.DONT BUY THOSE KITS.

Sorry you had trouble, but saying "don't buy off Ebay" is a bit like saying "don't buy over the phone". As a warning to others, it's completely useless.


Why not instead mention the actual company you dealt with?

I was thinking the same, Had my hybrid off ebay and haven't had a problem, others have bought FMIC off ebay and not had any problems.

Was this company based in the USA???

And was this kit designed for your model of car???

but after spending all the extra money + what u paid for fmic from the us

was it cheaper than the ones in the uk??? :S

You are right, I have an 02 STI and the kit was made for it. I got it from ebay USA from JDMMOTORZ.
