    Is there a smaller front lip.....?

    the JDM 1JZ front bumper lip has two holes, one each below the foglamp location. From what I've heard the two duct holes suppose to aid in cooling and ventilates the front brakes. The material of the lip is the same as US spec OEM rubber.

    PS Hose Size?

    I believe the other hose for the PS should be approx. 3/8 " . Please double check yourself to be sure. Use your open end wrench to approximate the nipple size.

    Where did you mount your AFC?

    I don't have pics but I mounted my HKS EVC EZ & HKS S-AFR at the center console using 3M double sided tape. It gives me the peace of mind of hiding the unit from broad day light when I'm not in the car... did the same thing with my zeitronics zt-2 unit in the glove box.:icon_bigg
