You might want to look at buying a "kit" then. There's a couple different options here:

You pay a little more that way, but there's no fabrication or guesswork. If you feel like getting creative, click the link in my sig.

I installed a hayden 404 cooler on my 02 GT. That is a tube and fin cooler. On that generation the bumper does not have to come off.

I want to install a better cooler on my 06, I am not sure if the bumper has to come off. I was looking at plate and fin cooler for this car, they're a little more expensive but more efficient. Those part numbers start with 67X. I was thinking the 678, or the largest, 679.

Here's a link to an amazon search for the hayden coolers. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=a9_sc_1?...qid=1463099424

Of course these coolers are just hose clamp style connections, so you have to custom hook these up. On my 02 I cut two slots in the bottom air dam piece and ran the hoses under the radiator support. Then cut the stock cooler lines at a convenient place and made a little flared edge, ran the hose over it and clamped it.
