I might be interested if it is setup for a stock mount radiator with the a/c condensor in place ( I see you fabbed up your's with the p/s loop in place ).

For the v-mount crowd, I can see the v-mount working only if you leave the undertray off to vent the backside of the radiator. Please educate me if I'm off here.

ok, the rad ducting is a bit more comples, so ill tackle that one later, anyway, we cut and drilled the underpanel/splitter today, it aluminum adn i will test it at BIR wednesday, however, in the end it will just be the template for the much lighter CF (or whatever) material. it looked awsome and covered the entire front bottom, ill have pics tomorrow night (forgot the cam today, doh)

looks good, you should also use the two connecting pins to the bumper/rebar to keep the lip from catching and being pulled down
