From all these pics I can see how airflow at the intercooler would be improved- especially with an extractor hood- but with the rad laid back so much it would seem that air would just skim over the face rather than flow through it.
Do these radiators have efans on the backside to pull air through them?

I'm almost running one. I kinda ran out of money to do the piping and I'm still debating on whether to keep the power steering or not.
I used some 90deg brackets from HDR bolted to some stock holes on the frame for the bottom and you can obviously see the top part.

Yeah but he has taken alot of stuff off like brake ducts, brackets etc. I forget what else but I remember when I did my FMIC there was alot of stuff on both sides. Seems like it would take alot more work on my vert. I kept all my piping and intercooler in between the frame rails.

Umm... buy a TIG welder, a plazma cutter, and an angle grinder. Learn how to use em, and hack away! 
You need to learn how to weld alum for this, but come on, take a welding class, make it urself, it will be badass x10!
PS: They might even let you use your car for an "in-class project" so you get points, a welding certification, and get the V-mount done! Well, this is my plan anyway.

Would you want the fan on the bottom of the radiator or top? Youd think on the bottom it would get rocks and **** and the nice fans arent cheap. Or run two pushers, one pushing through the radiator one on IC?? Thats probly what Id do. You think a couple of like 7in fans on the back of a front mount would help?
