Default Those of you who have cut your bumper in an EG sedan for an intercooler....

Are you running fog lights? How did you go about cutting out your front bumper to get it all to fit. Mine is proving to be a huge hassle. Please post up your pictures of how you have your intercooler mounted, fog lights or not. I need to get some ideas!

Thanks in advance.

i know with 2/3dr, most people usually have to ditch the foglights due to there being a lack of room from the IC piping.

sorry this wasn't much help, but that is what i've always seen and heard.

Well, are you going to the Bowling Green meet? If so, then hopefully I'll have my turbo on and I'll see you there.

Can't get a new intercooler, because then I'd have to redo all the piping too. I think I'm actually going to have to run the intercooler upside down with the inlet and outlet on top, but so far, I've had to remove the bumper support, cut the top half of the fog light brackets off, and cut the heck out of the bumper. Still working on getting it to fit. With it flipped, I have no tabs on the intercooler to mount it.
