I accomplished this by cutting into the radiator support about 1" where the plane of the back part of the support ends up at the top and then bent the sides back like wings. Kinda hard to describe without pics (which I should have taken). Doesn't seem like big numbers but the difference is pretty clear! At this point, the top mounts of the IC are about 1/4" off the bumper. I can remove all of the side material on the radiator mount and pound it flat and get the mount points underneath. To mount that I will have to drill a big hole through to top of the bumper support to allow access to a smaller hole for the bolt to go through to mount into the top of the intercooler. At that point the intercooler would almost be vertical and probably gain another 1/2" of clearance on the bottom as well as allow for a spoiler to go over it.
