1st, you acntually have to cut up the bumper a little bit. but youll still be able to keep them fins that hold hold the bumpers lower lip (not from the lip kit, the actual lip of the bumper), you'll see when u test fit it.
you basically slide the IC from below (after u have shaved off some bumper material), and the bottom of the IC has mounting points, you can get two long pieces of metal, make a hole on the support bottom part, and then a hole on the metal so u can put a nut on the IC, get me? n thats it. the hard part, would be making the holes without taking out the IC.

Having a hard time picturing what your saying.
First, what is this bumper lower lip? And what section of the intercooler would you place a nut onto?
On both intercoolers I had, they both had threaded inserts for a bolt to be screwed into, you could use brackets attached to the underside of the intercooler and find a location on the bottom of the car somewhere to bolt the other sides to I guess. I still think its going to be hard, space is pretty tight there.
When I installed the smaller IC, I actually drilled two holes in the bumper support and used long threaded bolts to attach the IC to the bumper support. Of course the bumper had to come off to do so. I also had to trim the back section of the bumper to accomadate the width of the IC.
