ghetto ebay FMIC kit has no brackets, I got 3 questions
 
okay, this is a 3 part question so i bought afmic kit from this shop on durfee road here in LA (i'm not advertising anything) and they provided no brackets to hang the intercooler, so now i am left to make them myself, off to home depot i go, only I know what i should use, but i don't know what to call them other than metal bracket things... 1. does anyone have any experience with this?
2. How the hell to i remove the s13 front bumper, where are all the bolts, and are there some hidden behind the fenders.
3. my intercooler is 31" x 9" x 3, do i have to remove the bumper support bar? ( i don't want to)

For the bumper if I remember off the top of my head there are
- There are 4 or 5 nuts on the fender each side
- 2 on each headlight brackets
- The bumper reinforcement brackets under the car
- 1 bolt/1 nut for the crash bar ( you will most likely have to remove it from the bumper to fit the intercooler) I think that's all of them. As far as the IC brackets your best bet is to take it to a shop and fab it. GL.

or you can have the bumper support cut to fit the fmic without actually removing it

deffinately keep the crash bar.. you will regret it if ya get into a 10mph crash and rip out the front half of your car instead of just bending that bar..(i know from experience :( )
but i agree take the i.c. to a fab shop, or a body shop. you can put your brackets where ya need to. mark it off with a marker, or use like a hot glue gun to hold shit in place for a lil bit till ya can get it welded.
