I'm going to be running a FMIC with this bumper, I should have it fitted by late April. I cut the grille frame (lip and tabs) out of the bumper by marking a line with a pencil and a block of wood by sliding it around the lip and then I very very carefully cut the frame out with a Dremel and and then block sanded the lip smooth. Came out looking like it came that way stock. The stock fogs wouldn't fit with a FMIC so rather than run empty foglight holes I decided to get everything mounted up and then run the biggest FMIC I can fit to fill the space.
