I mounted my tranny cooler directly behind the FMIC.

How does that affect the cooling of the tranny? My tranny sometimes gets near near 200* in traffic on my 1 hour drive to work as is.

Do you think it would be worthwhile moving the tranny cooler to behind the lower valance and cutting out some material to allow airflow or should I just stick it behind the FMIC like TurboBerserker?
Id like to see some pics of your FMIC if you have some. Unfortunately I wont have internet until Thurs (new house). Im curious as to whether the AC condensor would be in the way if I had to move the radiator a bit. It doesnt look like it, but Im not exactly an acomplished mechanic like most of you guys .

going right now to get some pics, I think what I am going to do and think would be good for you is to get the HD bottom valance. IF there is room for it behind the FMIC, then defenetly put it there, constant airflow. My tranny cooler has a fan on it so its not gonna fit there for sure. Check back in 10 and i will have some pics up here for you green

Here you go man. I did have to cut the stock support brackets and make them a IC bracket but i think it turned out pretty good and I still ahve the stock hood latch and support.
