Install was a snap. Is this on an FD? If so about the only thing you will have to modify is the 2 little "L" shaped brackets. The left and right ones will need to be swapped so the radiator sits an inco or 2 lower.

Well here are the pictures I was able to get. Not really alot to see but first is the passenger side radiator mounting bracket as seen through the mouth in the bumper.
edit: looking at this first picture I wonder if I got a picture of the wrong thing and that is actually the condensor bracket?
Back outside to check...
Next is the driver side radiator mounting bracket as seen from the top behind the A/C receiver/drier. It was not visible from below as there was some plastic in the way.
Looking at the radiator trhough the bumper mouth all you can really see is the A/C condensor so that wasnt really worth taking a picture of and looking from above all I can see of the radiator is the fan shroud. Plus the intercooler is in the way of seeing most of it. If there are any angles that anybody thinks would be worth taking a picture at let me know and i will see what I can do.
edit again: Damn, that is the condensor. I just looked and cant even see the radiator brackets without removing a bunch of plastic from under the car. Oh well. The picture of the drivers side really is a radiator bracket though.

I wish I had a digi cam when I got my Koyo, make sure to take a picture of it next to the stocker for a good comparison shot.
The Koyo is such a pretty chunk of metal. It really is too bad that you have to bury it down in the front of the car where you cant see it.
