Default How much can the T/A bumper be trimmed for IC?

I already have a ebay 31x12x4 IC that a lot of people use on my car.

I want to experiment with putting an ac condenser on the back side of the IC to make more room between the radiator/fans and my turbo. The only way to do this would be to move the IC forward and more into the bumper cover.

I dont know if it would look weird to shave down the inside of the bumper, fog light holes etc to make it work.

Does anyone have any pictures of a FMIC moved very far forward in the bumper?

Thanks
Alex

I just trimmed out behind the license plate, and removed the fog lights, but I would be curious to see others did.

I also trimmed depth off the inside of the bumper (a couple inches from the back side of the foglight areas) to ensure the FMIC could sit further forward.
