Which IC are you using?? How thick is it??

It'd probably be best if you posted a picture showing us how far out the IC and piping stick out.

Your best bet would probably be some bodykit bumper.

i cut so much out of it including the webbing. the problem that it is having is fitting over my ic piping on the left and right sides. when i try to attach the upper side points to the fender they will not reach because of the piping hindering the bumper from moving back towards the tire.

I know what you mean. I had the same problem with my charge pipes.

If you're not willing to redo the piping, then just keep cutting until it fits. =\

Isn't this gonna be your track car?? Doesn't have to look pretty.
