Hi folks - just doing some planning here for 3.2L build and it looks like most of the front oil cooler installations end up cutting the factory bracing extends from either side of the car near the headlights to under the front latch.
The Patrick Motorsports kit from the shapes in the kit seem to presume that but I wanted to ask what most people end up doing. Some recent big$ sales on BAT took the cut/remove approach but I’m a bit reluctant to dive in with the cutting disks. Example picture attached Thanks! |

I have the PMS oil cooler in the front of my car and the 3.2 typically runs about 195 while driving. If I am in stop and go traffic it will creep to maybe 215 degrees. A cool thing (to me) is that as soon as traffic opens up I can watch the temperature gauge go back down to 195. So no heat issues and I am glad I have the cooler.
