Best front bumper for an FMIC?

I've heard that the MP5 bumper has tons of space for an FMIC.. however I really don't like the way it looks as much as others..

How does an FMIC fit in the CorkSport MS style front..? Anyone tried it?

Did you have to cut away parts of it to fit the FMIC? Thanks guys

I saw a picture, I think it was on cardomain, im not sure, but it looked real nice. It has a big opening in the front so I imagine anything that will fit in the mx-3 will fit in that bumper. I plan on getting one, and even if it doesnt fit perfectly, cutting away a little bit isnt a problem.

Abram's car has a MS front and a nice big FMIC. Also the Pak front has a M***IVE opening for a FMIC.

it's really hard to run intercooler piping with the mp5 front but i'm gonna do something different :D
i would get the ms front if i had to get another front and it's easy to run intercooler piping with it

MS style has the best design as it will seal up better to the i/c than the others. The other styles don't really have a shrouding around the mouth like the MS does.

personally i like the ms front but i wanna go with the combat front. i heard it does have sufficant room. and if your not afraid...sanding down the backside could be an option to allow room for a thicker intercooler...but i doubt any of us going with a greddy 4-core 6inch intercooler!!

Finally took a pic of my bumper/intercooler. This is the best angle I could get so you see moooost of the intercooler.
