Question how many have your intercooler behind your grill??? (kbracing)

Bought a new intercooler and piping kit and here is what i came up with. I think it looks alot better then behind the valence, and is alot safer too if your truck is lowered.

I bought the whole kit, but my cooler got messed up big time from the truck being too low. So I just bought a new one (same one he sends in the kit). Bought a piping kit and just redid the cold side. I did reuse some of his cold piping and just adapted to it to make things work.

05 k2500, intercooler mounted behind the grill. The only issue I have is if in alot of stop and go traffic on hot days the temps will get a little higher until I can get more fresh air moving though. Pics in photobucket link of sig
