I'd like to start an open discussion on oil front mounted oil coolers and ducting.

I had a nice chit-chat with Brad today on the subject and I am convinced that I need to get one installed.

Planning to go BIG to be prepared for the SIX later in the year.

Any opinion on ducting from the fog/horn grilles and the round rubber front trunk body grommets?

Exit air into fender wells is what I think. You?
Andy and I tossed around the idea of getting the air out through the grill below the windshield. Might be tricky.

I'd like to use a piece of sheet metal to create an air space for the install and still have *some* trunk space available.

Pics would be nice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I did a search on this...I just want a fresh thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)
