jackso11 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Has anyone got pictures of what the Do-luck front end looks like without a front mount? I will be fitting the Do-luck but really want to keep my SMIC as I am only BPU, but will it look stupid with the massive mouth and nothing behind it?

Philly_1 Lex Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Why would you not put a FMIC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 I'm only staying BPU, not after big power. If I was going to change the intercooler I think I would go CW SMIC. If I go FMIC then I need to lose the standard air box which I don't want to do as its better than a cone filter, move the power steering cooler, move the aircon pipes etc. (that might be it actually). If I was going down the big power route I would put an FMIC in though. P.S.....that picture is difficult to see what the mess looks like, my eyes only want to look at the foreground for some reason!

j_jza80 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 It will look bad IMO. Change it for Top Secret, Ridox or preferably stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 I have had stock for 9 years, thought it was about time for a change! TS always looks good in pictures but in real life I think the top half looks nice but the bottom looks like a window sill has been tacked on the car....only my opinion - - - Updated - - - not too keen on the mesh....might end up just putting a FMIC on purely to make it look right!

bayside_supra Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Try some thick black mesh first to see, if it doesn't look right do the FMIC after? I think black mesh will look cool on you car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I fitted a FMIC and managed to keep the stock airbox. Changing the PAS is an easy job too. Looks much better than a SMIC with DL front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the comments saying to go fmic though personally I love the look of a do-luck front bumper with a fmic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
