MMC strongly advises against tracking the MR with it's fog lamps in place.Â*

The driver's side lamp obstructs the transmission cooler which is a key component in keeping the transmission light from popping on and sending your car into the pits (or back to the dealership for a 8 grand bill).Â* In Japan, the fog lamps are an option, but if you don't get them....well, you wind up with much better cooling and a clean factory vent (which I managed to come up on recently).Â* You don't need the vent for this mod, but it makes the finished product a heck of a lot cleaner.

There's some great articles on evoM about pulling the front bumper, so I won't repeat the "how to."Â* It is a lot easier to do the install with the bumper off, but if you don't mind cutting up your hands, you can probably do it with just removing the under trays.

You track your car? Though it lived in the garage and at show booths....interesting.

Guess you aren't an Import Tuner Fan. MMNA took the car out last year and time attacked it. IT will do the same later this year.

But you're right, even then, my preference is for it not to be tracked. Several companies are using it for marketing, so no sense in risking costly cosmetic repairs until that's finished.

There are some pix in the new Hyper Rev.
Page 12. There's a few others in my gallery, but I'm starting to do make a lot of changes for Nisei and SEMA this year.
