I am having a hard time trying to mount my intercooler behind my bumper.  
just wondering if i should lose the bumper and just try to mount up the plastic cover.  
i also think i should remount the hood latch brace and am just wondering if any of you have any pics of an install that i could take a few pointers from.  
much appreciated!

Its really not that difficult, just cut and shave where needed, but first of all make sure your piping is going to be lining up with the proper spots on the intercooler.

Ok mount the fmic with the bumper off. Line up the rebar and wherever it needs to be trimmed, trim it. Now put the bumper cover on, same as the rebar…make it fit. Not to be an ass but it seems fairly straight forward?
