Your kidden right! Im sure you could do anything if you tried hard enough. Your front bumper is very easy to take off...

Yes It goes on fine. Just take it off slow and easy and put it back on the same way there is a nice how to on here some where. If you still have all your dust covers on the bottom of your car there are alot of plastic pop rivits. Just do lose any and everything should go on nice and tight...

Given the location of the bolts - no. You can't take your intercooler off without taking your front bumper off. I've replaced mine. I'm sure the people who say you can do this haven't.

Yeah, the first time I took my front end off, I was scared and it felt like I was breaking something, but after having it off a few times, it is really a piece of cake. The instructions above were great! The first time, go slow and have the directions in front of you.

Definately can not replace the Perrin FMIC without taking it off. The bottom tab is long and it requires some creative angles to get it up in there.

I REALLY Doubt you can take off the front mount without taking off the bumper.
