Thanks guys!
Bob at EPP sent the brackets with the intercooler. They are just L shaped and line up with the holes in the frame that hold the crossmember piece on. I'll see if I can get some better pics of them tho.

The brackets are our new brackets that make our FMIC kit a "Bolt-on" , you basically remove the bumper and set it aside and just bolt the brackets on.
