Default Will stock bumper fit with my HUGE intercooler? *PIC*

I recently picked up this car and want to put stock bumpers back on. As you can see the intercooler is WAY 2 big. Just wondering from these pics can you tell if the stock bumper will fit. I know I will have to cut inside of the bumper and the bottom but im worried that the top of the stock bumper won't fit over the intercooler.

I dont see why not, people in forced induction frorum have bigger ones than that, and modify them to fit all the time.

omg that thing is humongous... i say you will have a hard *** time fitting the stock bumper over that thing. I have an intercooler thats 9" tall and i had to chop the bumper support almost all the way out and the stock bumper still doesnt clear it correctly, it sits at an angle, like its nose is in the air.

I think you could possibly make it fit, but you'd have to cut the bottom of the stock bumper off and have the intercooler hang below the bottom of the bumper

i don't think it will fit at all...could be wrong but that IC is just huge height wise. Have you thought of getting a smaller IC?

Off topic, what kind of aftermarket bumper is that?? My friend has one like that and we thought it was a wings west bumper, but the fog light holes are way smaller. Anyone know??

Probably the back side. Think about it, really only other option.

Yes, the other pipe is behind it. I've tried to put that slim metal piece that goes inbetween the lights and stock bumper on and there was no way that was going to fit. So if the bumper did actually fit on it would not look good with a gap inbetween the bumper and headlights. So i'm just going to pick up a smaller intercooler and redo the piping. And maybe go bob-sleding with my old intercooler .
