Smile LET Motorsports Heat Exchanger Pics
I had some time this morning so I took the beast down to my friend's shop, placed it up on a rack, and started working my butt off. Funny thing is that I could remove/install the heat exchanger from under the bumper, no problem. I thought I could cheat my way through to install without having to remove the bumper. My luck ran short. The 4 bolts that hold up the new heat exchanger required access to 4 bolts which are underneath the headlights. The only way to access those was to remove the bumper. And so the bumper came off. With everything total, it took about 1-hour and 45 minutes. I think the car looks great!

Here's the final pics.

The HE will keep the system cooler, that's really about all he's gonna see, no premature S/C shutdown.

I drained out the coolant from the radiator and the engine block, then refilled and topped off. No issues.
