My buddy is Vortech supercharged and he had to trim his Amuse bumper a little for the piping to fit.

NISMO V2 fits the Greddy FMIC without modification.

You need to modify the bumper to make it work with the FMIC, not the other way around.

I wouldn't know but the trimming on my bumper was very minimal, but then again, I don't have an Amuse bumper or GReddy FMIC. If you're running the genuine Amuse bumper, since its FRP, it will be a lot easier to work with. If you have the Shine Auto replica, it may be a little more difficult as the material is a lot more flexible.

no, we had to trim to fit his oil cooler.

I think it would fit most FMIC setups, if it needs trimming it is very easy, just get an orbital sander and go to town.... will probably take 20 seconds
