I also just figured out I could use 2 stock fc coolers and mount them where the bumper support normally goes, and just use the turn signal holes for air... I'm thinking which would work pretty well actually, despite the fact that not that much air goes to them.... just because the stock cooler is so big, and there would be 2 of them in series... it would be really easy to setup, and cheap (well, free. lol since I already have an extra cooler and a line to connect them). might have to give that a try. otherwise, I'll head out to the junkyard.
I'm thinking behind the rad is a bad idea....
it's a universal 19 row cooler w/ -10 an fittings. you can get them lots of places. mine is made by mocal. I have just one right now. I'll have more information on temps and such as soon as i get the car on the road (hopefully this week).

what specifically do you guys want pictures of?? preferably without having to take the bumper off.
