Bumper Conversion

Ok here are the pictures of the Fox fiberglass reinforcement to my 94GT

As you can see the stock steel/styafoam bumper is right up tight to my intercooler.

After the mounts were bolted down, it was now time to install the Fox fiberglass reinforcement bumper on, with stainless steel hardware

As you can see there is LOTS more room to my intercooler with the bumper swap.

Is there no metal bumper support with that piece of foam?

I want to put a FMIC in but I'm not too sure on removing or cutting the bumper support.

The bumper is pretty much only to hold the front bumper cover up and in place.
The Foam is attached to the bumper by rivits.
Then once you remove the bumper you will be looking at the collapsable mount shown in picture 3, 4, 5 and 6 (Going from top to bottom).

Well the metal support was removed, I would be concerned in the event of a crash. I want to do it, but I don't... if you understand what I mean.

Stang Illusions 5.0L, have any more pictures of your intercooler setup with the pipe routing?
