My body shop guy retrofit it (cut and trim). Ask your guy to look out for gaps on the grill and headlights. Also, paint your fog light housing black.

so i just got back from the bodyshop, turns out the bumper is a maybe half inch bigger than the stock one and the intercooler is stikcing out of the hole where the grill is supposed to be.... he said that its possible to install it but i will not be able to put the mesh in without some modification so he suggested having no mesh and just have the intercooler painted black.
