Yep I installed it last night. Picked up some foam from Home Depot.The fan mounting bolt does rub against the intake so I got some foam (compressed) and put it in between. I also picked up a thermostat intending to change it but couldn’t reach the bolts on the thermostat housing haha. Hardest part of the install was removing the lower radiator hose from the old radiator

Yikes! I would love the OEM but for the same amount i could get an all aluminum one. I was also on a time crunch but luckily I have some s2k parts dealers around

Glad to hear it went smoothly. I hope to get it ordered soon and tackle the install. I'll probably get it up on jack stands and try to attack the lower hose that way.
