    I decided to go the vw radiator for my intercooler install. Finally got to the part where i install the radiator and i am a bit stuck. Im just having a hard time getting it into a good position where its not hanging out of the bottom of the car too far. My one option is to modify my headlight bracket on both sides, cut/bent out that bottom corner to make room for the radiator and also cut out a piece of the hood latch that goes down to that single bolt at the bottom. That would give me enough room to install the radiator. Does this seem right to you guys?

    I have seen people mention that they have used the vw radiator but i cannot find a writeup or any pictures of how it was mounted in a Grand Prix GTP. Any help would be appreciated.

    Ed aka sseilmnop is the most recent person I know of to install that radiator, and is very helpful. if you send him an email to his gmail account listed on his thread selling the phenolic intercoolers, I imagine he will give you some tips.
