I read the other guys' post...good stuff to know that you at least have a safer option out there.

It only supports up to 320 WHP but it would still be better compared to a top mount.

I haven't heard of one that doesn't require some modification.

APS Type R, the one on my car. Stock bumper beam. It is a very good-sized FMIC that doesn't block a large area of the radiator. You do lose the foglights.

stands for vehicle reconstruction permit.
anytime your suspension is modified you are required by the state to get a wheel alignment back to stock and pass a "bounce test"
It also applies to aftermarket hoods for functionality and several other things. I think nitrous is one of them. And several others I can't think of right not.

I'm in So Cal now. No recon. I'm modifying my 07 C6 right now. Z06 rear fenders going on this week to make room for 345s in the rear. I'm actually thinking about selling my WRX. I also have an 07 Tundra and I don't really need three vehicles.
