How do you cut the front of your bumper for your intercooler
How do you cut the front of your bumper for your intercooler How do you cut the front of your bumper , behind the gill, for your intercooler. I have seen this done, but do not see how to do it clean. Don't know were to start with the shape of the front end (it kind of curves back) and the actual bumper behind the foam (don't want to commise my car structure). If someone has done this mod, could you please explain to me how you did it and picturs if you have them, Thanks. Just don't want to start cutting and end up with an ugly hole in the front end of my car.

I did a rough trace of the intercooler on the support then cut it off. I wanted the intercooler to slide up into the top of the support. I ended up cutting little slits on the back side and hammering the support out a little to fit it. I also cut the foam where needed. I pretty much did this to retain my fog lights LOL
I have some on my phone, my intercooler isnt mounted to the frame per se. I have holes drilled in the top of the bumper support that bolts to the IC and I have a couple brackets for the bottom that bolt to the bottom of the rad support.

heres a pic of my mount for the intercooler
in my sig you can see with the bumper cut. just started with a dremel cutoff wheel then smoothed it with a fine sanding wheel, then hand sanded and touch up paint on the spots i messed up
