Stupid question. What's in front of my radiator?

The intercooler is under the skid plate (or just above is more accurate) way below the bumper with the fans, right ? If so, then no. This almost looks like a thinner secondary radiator without any hoses and the same dimensions, otherwise. I've searched every OEM part for intercooler or oil cooler or radiator and the like and nothing looks like it.
Yah I don't think the intercooler would be under the skid plate :)

Did you say it had nothing hooked to it? No hoses? If so, get rid of it. Just causing air flow restrictions

thats not what my AC condenser looks like. That looks like an aftermarket tranny cooler to me.
That is exactly what an A/C condenser looks like.

If he does he will soon find out it does have hoses and they are filled with R134A refrigerate

Yes. To be fair, I do have an FMIC so I don't get to see that piece anyway so I could be totally wrong :p I do recall it being black and larger (no not the trans cooler).
OP's picture is from the top, pulling the rubber piece from grill to radiator support up/forward. Most likely on the passengers side. I promise you, your condenser looks the same.
