external oil cooler

this isn't probably the first time this has been brought up, and of course im sure some people on here will hate it im still debating myself whether it would actually look nice or just ridiculous on a first gen. but has anyone thought of an external oil cooler on their car kind of like the older classics they have far east? here's a pic as an example.

such a good looking car ruined by someones inability to place an oil cooler (not to mention most likely oversized one) within an engine bay.

Of course there's no real functional purpose for doing it, unless you have a beehive cooler the stock location gets plenty of air. Bosozoku cars like that are strictly for show, even though the look is heavily influenced by Japanese race cars of the 70s. It's a love it or hate it thing.
