that's a lot of snow.. is that you to the left of the pic looking at the car? J/K man.

Getting an intercooler is based upon placement, and how much plastic you want to cut. Do you really feel like hacking up the entire bumper assembly?

Another topic is budget. Get a nice volvo one if you are cheap, otherwise there are custom applications that will perfect fit your ride. Look into other people that have that generation car for the answers.

basically any fmic will work for your car. the question is how much your willing to spend and how good are your fabrication skills? just take measurments of your front bumper to see what kind of ic you want to fit in there, then just look for a ic that meets your specifications.
