as long as its not wider than 33-34" you should be ok. My last core was 34" and it BARELY cleared my JDM foglights.

The width will be real issue, the length is secondary. I have not seen it under a JDM bumper here.

I have The ets kit w/a jdm bumper & projector fogs. Everything fit just just fine when I had it together.

I can + juan this. If you have an early ETS kit with the tab mounts it can be an issue but PM me and I can help you with a solution.

Juan,
You've seen my car. ETS FMIC kit with new style mounting brackets and JDM bumper with projector fogs installed. No clearance issues with it at all.

Juan,
Per our conversation earlier today....I did have to trim the bottom of the bumper cover slightly to clear the bottom of the ETS core. Sorry...it's been awhile since I thought about even driving let alone working on my car.

I trimmed the bumper and it was a whole different story when bolting it up. I knew something was up when I was having difficulties intalling it.

The newer ETS cores include tabs that bolt to the core support/unibody rather than the USDM bumper support like the 1st generation cores did. Makes it easier to use the core with a JDM bumper. The newer cores also have a larger diameter hotside/inlet pipe than the older cores. A/C equipped cars may have some clearance issues with the hotside piping on the newer cores because ETS used a car without A/C installed when they mocked up the piping and intercooler inlet.
