Kaminari FB doesnt fit w/intercooler pipes

Well thanks to livelyjay, my turbo is all hooked up but my front bumper wont go on! The right side goes on perfect, but the intercooler piping on the left is hitting the bumper so it wont line up right.. Ive seen people with kaminari kits and intercooled turbos, so I was wondering if they had this problem to? Please help! I want to drive my car

Try looking in the registry to find others with the same situation and setup.

You'll probably have to trim the inside of the bumper...

If I could have stayed a bit longer we could have used my Dremel to cut out some of the bumper, but I was pretty exhausted after the 14 hours of install time, and that douchebag not showing up with my front bumper. I'm sure you can find someone with a Dremel or file and grind out some of the bumper.

first off, kaminari kits are a brand, not style, so accolade cannot sell them

second, left and right sides in mel's post are confusing. Is the problem on the driver's side or passenger?

the driver side of the kaminari bumper goes on perfect. The passenger side of the bumper is what wont go on. sorry for the confusion

EDIT: I already know he has the setup i have. I pm'd him seeing what he did to solve this problem but have not gotten a response yet. thanks anyway though.
