intercooler fitting

for all the boosted people on this site, how did you guys fit your bumper with your intercooler? Did you all have to cut/shave your bumpers? Is there a aftermarket bumper that looks stock that will also clear the ic? any help is appreciated cuz i ended up grinding mine and yea...i need some help. thanks people.

my bumper is a terrible hack job

I used a dremel to hack out the middle part and most of the bottom support. It's still a tight fit. I eventualy need to get some other bumper or something, but for now I don't really care how it looks.

i cut all of the black grill out to fit mine. It looks a lot better than just trimming it a little.

Mine was left in tact. I just cut the bottom of the grill loose so it would be able to push out just a little so there was no need to loose it.

it depends on the intercooler you use i suppose. I have the SF intercooler and will have to tear up my bumper to make it fit right.

iamboo is on a distinguished road
if you have an aftermarket bumper like the viper or the tsunami or blitz, you will only need to trim a lil bit... the stock bumper is a pain to modify...
