i did and at first i thougt it fit... but i tried bolting in my shine 3 piece carbon and the lower radiator outlet makes contact... IMO the brackets to be like an inch shorter.
Also looking at the needed adjustment for when my motor goes in mine needs to go 3 inches fwd and 1 inch higher on the lower set point of the radiator. The upper mounting of the radiator will can probably keep the current angle of original kit. the upper radiator inlet will require to be notched and rewelded to pivit it so it dosnt stick out so much and can tuck under the radiator. The upper core support will definatly require removal so the intercooler can sit forward. also im thinking of redoing the front crash bar so it will allow for more room...
But out of all the modifications that requires for my car and situation the kit it self is very clean and well designed and was also easy for install...

ok i was messing around on google sketchup and i came up with something that may work 
well its not to scale but i do think this will work.
there is plenty of room to move the lower position on the radiator forward anyways. i think itll look better right behind the lip of the front bumper and with the people with other front bumpers on will allow for proper positioning of the radiator....

any updates on this?
Rawbz08: That design looks pretty adjustable but I'd be afraid of it moving under vibration as it's only locked by the friction of the plot/nut.

Defined, I'm still interested in getting a TiAL BOV flange welded to the intake pipe from the intercooler to the TB Elbow. Just curious how much it would be? I can PayPal the funds right over. Thanks!
