Wow, amazing work! I need to save this for when I get my FMIC.

Slightly off subject, do you know how much the front bumper beam weights? Anyone know if there are any "lightweight" options out there? Custom or aftermarket production?

If it's similar dimensions as the Forge, then yeah it should fit.

I basically bought that exact replica off a member in a mini group. Works well, responds well and no issues so far. Also looks pretty well made for what you pay. We'll see in longevity here over the next few months.

Does need a little trimming, but overall it definitely Costs less. So it's a bit of a trade off. Lol

Theta,

I tried sending you a PM but your box is full. These images are not loading up for some reason. I just purchased the FMIC for my 2016 CMS and I'm about to go through the same situation. Any help would be certainly appreciated!
