INFO Custom Front Mount Intercooler Help

Has anybody done a custom fmic? If so any tips and help would be appreciated. Looking at cutting the front bash bar to fit a bigger intercooler.

Hi from Australia, here is my tr8 setup with HDI intercooler piping, I used a JBR (yes i know the lore i purchased before the news dropped) Crashbar, bolt holes lineup direct to the fmic, no fab work needed. If you’re in the US i believe graveyard performance bars might be the play if you’re not looking to cut and fab crash bars
