I don't have any, sorry. These would look a lot like OEM.

I'm getting it widened so it can fit around the AC Expander.

Intercooler mounted!

I'm using very little couplers, most of it is going to be welded!

Are you doing something else at the same time or did you remove all of that for the intercooler?

I removed the old intercooler without taking my radiator off. Relocating horns, cleaning headlights.

Gotcha. At first I was like, damn, you don't need to take all that off to do the front mount. but that makes sense.

The intercooler removal is pretty easy, it's just kind of a hassle. I say totally worth it. It's better then sucking up loads of air/heat from the AC-Con, giving it to the radiator

I will tackle just about any problem accept I draw the line on Auto transmissions. I had a harsh bang in my reverse on my last tranny...just replaced it.

If you like Manuals then go for it. I would do it but my wife does not want to have to shift. I am stuck with an auto and just try to make the best of it.

I think I'm just going to go with an Auto. Less hassle, my sister likes driving her old ar, and I can drive it before I head off to college if I can convince my mom.
