Default intercooler hangs too low

my damn max rev intercooler hangs about an inch lower than my front bumper
i test fitted my wings west rs lip and it still dosent hide it enough

should i
A. get a spoon knock off carbon fiber lip (might just cover the IC )
or
B. cut the damn support thing thats in the way and mount it higher

you have to notch your bumper out. i personally dont have a honda, but on my nissan i had to cut my bumper up a lil so i could mount ic higher.
