FMIC Modifications Inquire

Newbie here. I am definitely looking into getting a FMIC. I placed my interests on the Helix FMIC group buy thead. I plan to install it myself but here is where my questions begin.

Knowing that I will be removing the front bumper, do you guys know of any other mods that I can knock out while I have the bumper off to install the FMIC? One thing that interested me on top of my head is the LED foglight retrofit.

If possible when replying, can you tell me the cost of the mods as well? That way I know how much to put away. Thanks so much for the inputs.

We always install the NM discharge pipe when installing the Forge Intercooler

It's easy to do while doing the intercooler. Let us know when you're ready we sell all of it including the LED for lights

You can replace the horns. About $60. I'm considering it.

There's an update on the GB thread. We will be doing a group buy in the future and have a few for regular sale right now.

WMW: I will be in Atlanta next month and planning to stop by to check a few stuff out and learn more about the Mini. Do you have the parts in stock for pickup or do I have to order the parts in advance for pickup? Possibly the discharge pipe and sunroof visor.

Thanks Helix for the update. I will wait for the GB to give me some time to save up for it.

Ian, thanks for the suggestion on the horn. Read a few threads about it. I don't use the horn much or at all. I will test it out tonight and see what it sounds like to warrant a swap.
