Nice and clean also means (to me) that they've thought about their engineering quite a bit. Not that I think other brands have not, but it adds that little extra to the brand when they think about the "packaging" quality too!

I really want this SC - just not sure if I want to spend such huge cash on it (paying in South African Rands is a little rougher than buying it in Dollar terms!!)

11/26/15 Update:

Last week I ordered up some oil cooler supplies in preparation for my track day tomorrow.

Had a chance to build my oil cooler setup last night. Here are some pics!

Parts:
- Mocal Tstat Adapter
- Setrab 619 Cooler
- 10AN Black Nylon Hose
- 10AN Vibrant Fittings (1-90, 3-45)
- Scrap SS fashioned into brackets
- Black gutter guard cut to cover bumper holes

Originally I had planned on putting the cooler on the passenger side of the bumper as I didn't want to remove my washer tank. Well, after some yelling and pacing the garage, I decided to just put it on the driver side. Lines were nice and short, no pump in the way, and an excuse to build a smaller washer tank down the road. For those of you not following the ft86 page about this SC, I didn't want to mount in the center opening as it would interfere with airflow to the LTR.

Install was pretty easy. The brackets I made all mounted to existing holes in things so I just cut up some scrap metal and sat it centered in the fog light opening and about 2" recessed from the bumper. I pulled the "nice" bumper off the car, swapped it with my "ugly" bumper on the shelf, and used a Dremel to remove everything from all three openings. I covered the outer two with a piece of gutter guard I had laying around. I'm going to grab another piece tomorrow to do the center.

I also cut holes in my splash guard in the shape of big smiley faces for airflow. Not sure why I made them look like faces, I'm guessing it's because I'm tired.

I'm surprised more people don't use the openings behind the fog light area for coolers...looks good

Thanks. I'm working on figuring out a way to reincorporate a DRL as well.

With that foglight holder / drl hacked out it looks like a totally different bumper. Very nice!

Hacked is a very appropriate word for what I did lol. I hit a semi tire with this bumper a few months ago so my hand was not careful when I hacked this sucker up.

I will do something more refined to my "new" bumper. This one with be what I test my ideas on ;)

I didn't mean it like....HACKED, I meant cut out. Maybe it was a little too harsh of wording. Then again, maybe not. I still like the look!

I kinda like the bumper all hacked up the way that you have it. Maybe use some mesh like on an Evo 8 to finish it off.

I ran out of gutter guard when I made the mesh from the two fog light pockets. Headed to lowes soon to get a piece long enought for the middle =]
