The core I have now is CXracing, I might get another one, we'll see.

Decided against Vmount a while ago.

The welds aren't pretty...because I migged them. If I had access to a TIG welder, they would be fine.

Am I necessarily proud of how they look? Of course not. They were all pressure tested to 20psi with zero leakage...and it cost me about $20 to rent the Argon and buy wire...way worth it over having a "pro" do it.

Here's how it currently looks on the driver's side. You can't tell from the angle, but the **** on the bottom of the headlight motor is about a hair away from hitting the pipe.

How the hell do I mount this thing higher? Am I going to have to move it into the bumper? I'd really rather not do that, but there's no way to make it go higher as it currently sits....

That's how it's mounted from the bottom. It goes behind the bumper support.

The only way to mount this higher would be to get a shorter core and snake the pipes up inside, under the window motor, and then up a few inches.

Here's another pic showing why I can't go any higher as it is. The I/C is hitting the headlight supports, we'll call them.
