Yea, I agree. When I first had the bolts and brackets, I had a few people say I went crazy with the theme. But since then, everyone always says it makes the car look much cleaner. I can't wait to see how the black looks with pics. I almost did black. I bet it looks sweet

scion dad, i really like that alot. can you simply remove the radiator hose (when it is cool of course) and slip that braided line over it, or do you have to clam the end of the hose up so no liquid gets out?

also is that the oil catch tank i see? if so, how did you mount that there?

looks real clean, i like it alot

I disconnected from radiator side and drained it into a clean bucket. Then just poured it back in when I was finished. Easy to do. I put a few towels down to catch any drips. Only about 4 cups will drain out.

Tha catch can I mounted using flat steel universal straps...the kind with prepunched holes. I made a triangle using one flat surface to mount tank and bottom flat to mount to car and angled side making it solid. Painted blue. I mounted to the same spot the CAI mounts to the engine bay.

I really don't notice any performance difference, but there is oil in the can. Not alot, but spoon fulls. Alot of bling I would presume, but oil blow by no longer gets thrown back into the CAI and carb

looks basically. it prevens things from falling inbetween the bumper and the raidator when you are working on your car (i love that), and it prevens people seeing the ugly gap in between the bumper and the radiator.

it can possiabably stop air flow from going up, there for cooling the raidator down a little... but its not that effective, it was made for looks. dr isotope did a great job on these. props to him again!
