FMS FMIC for 08+ wrx/sti

**GraffitiRR** · #1: 03-06-2012, 06:47 PM

I know this kit will fit on a 08-09 Legacy GT/Spec B...But will it fit on the 05-07 LGT? I know they (subaru) made minor changes halfway through the model. Just need to know 100% if it will fit.

nobody can chime in with any info? really? not a single person can tell me a difference in chassis setup?

Why waste your money on a knock-off?

If you want to save money, go with the RacerX.

I think the racer x is a pile of crap.
Only nice thing I have to say about it is that you can keep the stock air box.
I got the fast motorsports. Next to no fitments problems and the kit is holding up amazing at 434whp at 24psi.

But back to the original op question.
The 08wrx/sti kit will fit on the 05-07 lgt. I have it on my car

08-09 had a harder time fitting cuz the air pump on the right front of the motor.

Damn, i think u didn't like the way the piping went. I got a awesome deal for my RacerX, I wanted to keep THE BUMPER BEAM so if if someone hits me in the front I'm safe. If the intercooler gets damage, better call a buddy because your car isnt moving. Also insurance wont shoot me down. But hey as long as your happy. Your car looks good tho.

i just think the racer x kit is ugly. i hate how the couplers show through the front bumper. its just tacky.

yeah its nice to keep the bumper beam, is only supposed to not create as much damage in crashes from 0-5mph.

in a true head on accident. front bumper beam really isnt going to do much more. you are in a head on collision the car is totalled reguardless.
im not saying its not a bad idea to keep it. it is better to keep but its really not gonna make that much difference in a head on collision.

just my .02 everyone has their own opinion tho.

i like the way the FMS kit looks too, more than any other FM on the market, but the mere fact that FMS as a whole is dog shit turned me away from the kit. do you have any of their other parts?

**thisisthenewsic** · #8: 03-10-2012, 09:31 PM

i just bought their fmic kit. ive heard alot of bad things about their other products so i cant really say too much about them as a company. all i can say is im very pleased with my fmic kit.

i only paid 640$ shipped with black piping so i couldnt pass it up.

The FMS FMIC does fit a 05-07 LGT. I own the kit myself and I think its a really good piece. I made a thread about it somewhere on the fourm. I haven't had any problems with it.

It doesn't look NEARLY as nice as the kit they knocked off. The FMS looks like dog shit in comparison.
