By the time I import this intercooler to Australia, it's a $700USD investment on a part you guys are selling for RRP $470USD with your distributors selling it less than that, which makes a cheap intercooler not so cheap. If it's listed on your website as application fitting, then it should fit without the need to cut or remove a metal brace. I'm not talking about a bit of plastic, i'm meaning things the OEM have put in place for rigidity.

Otherwise why can't you just mention it on your product description what parts need to be removed, trimmed, altered so you aren't wasting everybody's time in researching, ordering, making time to fit it only to find out it doesn't actually fit without cutting metal structural components of the car?
Not everybody wants to be cutting structural pieces for an intercooler, others may not mind, at least make it clear for the consumer...

Does this fit or not?
The other thing that they don't mention is that the stock cooling fan shroud doesn't reach the brackets built on to the intercooler so the fan isn't really hooked to anything on the bottom like it is with the stock intercooler./
