96-98 have the fog's in the front grill opening. That should be no problem. Unless you are talking 99-00 where you will need a dual back door intercooler.

I've heard of people turning the interooler upside so theres room in the grill for the wires and housing of the foglights

That may work if the openings on IC are torwords the bottom of Intercooler, you can flip it upsidedown, if they're in the middle of IC your screwed unless you want lots of fabrication. . but i agree the backdoor IC is the best way to go if u really want to keep those fogs

Treadstone Performance TR8 intercooler fits perfectly fine. Definitely make sure the intercooler inlet and outlet are offset to the very bottom and not in the center. My intercooler hangs just a tad below the bumper, but the lip covered it all up.

not entirely true. i used a precision 600 intercooler and an ebay universal piping kit and got to keep my fogs. although i had to get rid of my bumper support completely. but with a lot of cutting and the right couplers i got that **** to work!

Urgh. Removing the bumper support is not an option. Doesn't your bumper sag now? Precision makes some damn good intercoolers for the price.
