Aftermarket grilles

BlindAmbition
Looking at this grille on eBay so I can fit an intercooler on my IDI.  Anyone installed one or something similar?

How much room do you need for an intercooler?  The grille on Big Blue has been trimmed on the back side to provide more clearance, but maybe not enough for what you need?
