Fmic question

Is there a way to make the fmic sit behind the bottom middle grill so it shows like the n54?
I was under the impression that our fmic is behind the radiator so it doesnt show but can this be a simple thing to accomplish?

Anyone have actual pic of how our fmic sits?

Also do people prefer silver vs the black one that wagner is offering?
Or do they just buy that because it is the only one that is offered?

I was wondering the same thing... thought it was dumb how it is behind the radiator...

the aftermarket IC sits where the factory IC sits. doesn't make sense why they did that probably to keep it as a straight plug and play component. but if you want to have the IC sit in the front lower bumper opening i'm sure you'll have to have a shop modify some IC tubing to and from along with some custom brackets to keep the IC and piping from moving. I see this the same way when I had some custom piping done when I turbo charged my Integra back in the days
