i just took my bumper off and yea it definately wont be easy with them on top. The problem was that if I had it mounted in the one spot, the pipes coming out of the intercooler would hit the foglights. The 2nd spot the intercooler was hanging down below the bumper and it just didnt look that good. So I flipped it upside down. Do all of you have intercoolers that are perfectly concealed or can you see them hanging down a couple of inches below the bumper?

Pics please. Is it the fog light or the bumper cover around them? I haven't had a stock bumper cover for 8 years.

I gave up my fog lights to have better pipe placement.... Kinda sucked at first but now I couldn't care less.

Mine doesn't hang below the bumper cover. I put the bottome of the IC level with the bottom of the radiator support.

I am using the holes for my bumper support bolts to mount the intercooler as well.I have the bolts going through an aluminum bracket that holds the i/c and then through the support.
