backdoor intercooler or just mount a regular one upside down so the in/outlets are on top, routing the piping above the foggies
i think the IC would hafta hang MAD low if you wanted the piping to go under the fogs

I run my IC piping underneath my fog light. You just need a intercooler with the inlet/outlet of the IC to be on the bottom on the IC. It doesn't sit low at all if you are using the right IC. Backdoor IC is a good idea too but you'll have to relocate the radiator a little bit to have room for it. Or just flip the IC upside down and route it over the fog light. All will work.

I've been hacking up my bumper support today actually. I'll be running the JRC 8" with the in/out on top. That would leave the backs of the fogs completely clear. It seems like alot of bullshit to hack up the bumper support just right, but I'd think it'd be more to try to route the pipes under the fogs.

Just measure how big your fogs are. Then measure your bumper opening. Then take off the inchs that the fogs are. Its that simple.
