Yes it came with the tabs. I'm not sure but I do not think it's necessary to remove the bumper to install it but I guess it makes it easier. The bumper is off the car in the pictures because I was having both shaved and repainted.

hey thanks for everyone that took there time to help me and post pics looking at a front mount just want to gather information on and also wanted to make sure all parts were there and ease or not of installation the one I am looking at doesn't have those 2 tabs though.

The Cotton's FMIC in my car has a single tab on the bottom. Goes to the hole between the two tab version.

There are two studs on the top to go through existing holes, with a washer and nut to retain.

I have R&R'd the intercooler and it was easy. Open hood remove the two nuts. Jack up onto jack stands and loosen the hose clamps. Push hoses back out of the way.

Remove the bolt on the tab and lower the IC out. To install, it can be finicky getting the two studs through the upper holes. But once there it goes quickly.

[GNBRETT]

I would get a hold of Bison. He has a more efficient one.

Remove & Replaced.

[bpman1234]

what did you replace it with?

 

[RmvBfrFlght]

what did you replace it with?

The same IC that I took out. I removed it, flushed/cleaned the inside with some solvent, shot a light coat of flat black on the front of it, and replaced it back into the same location.
