intercooler on JDM bumpers

[02civicSI]

anybody gotten an intercooler to fit on the JDM bumpers? if so what did you need to cut?

Hmm never thought about this one, but I think it should fit. The front JDM re-bar is bolted on to the same spot, and that's usually where the intercooler is mounted to. Even though it might be shorter and stubbier it still should fit with no cutting involved.

Cutting is involved, the JDM bumpers are shorter making the grille hit the IC.
Everyone is cutting out the grille but Im trying to save my grille as much as I can.
Ive been working on the install for 2 days now after work.
Its time consuming trying to save that damn grille by using a dremmel.
Afterall that work I did, the IC is flush with "part" of the grille thats left,:) now, the IC pipping hits the housing where your foglight would go. Douhp...!
So the grille might need to be removed completely. :sadm:
