Well, i know how you guys like pics, so i will put a few on.

I had to take out the ac condenser and space the radiator back 1.25inches but it fits! you can barely tell with the grill installed.

Do you think your radiator will have any trouble getting air?

Naked AV-
i hope the radiator will be ok for air, i have the 160 thermostat anyways. if it starts to get hot, ill move the intercooler to down below like the STS ktis are doing, i just didnt feel like cutting my frame yet.lol

Big Tex-
as for the radiator side, the bottom is in the same spot, i just put longer bolts and rubber spacers in the upper mounts. the radiator sits on a slight angle, but hardly noticable with my electric fans

I mounted that same intercooler on my truck. Only differance I mounted it infront of the ac condenser, turned out nicely with minor modifications.
