Question 3rd radiator install in the OC?

I picked up the 3rd (center) radiator from Suncoast when I bought a GT3 bumper and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a place to install it that's not to crazy in $$ near HB/Irvine areas. I have a call into the Stealer for a price but the service guy said he's never had anyone ask this before so that means $$$$..I was hoping they could also put on the new bumper when they take the old one off to install the radiator..

I was thinking GMG or maybe Stuttgart performance

Thanks

what I hear it should drop the temp by about 10 -15 degrees which helps out in hot climate areas and if you track. It's standard on the turbo, GT2, 3, & RS

Give Brian a call at www.afterhoursautomotive.com, he's in San Pedro area. If he can't do it for you soon, he knows several good pcar shops in the neighborhood.
Not overpriced.

You can also call Fab at www.ef1motorsports.com in Signal Hill / Long Beach area.
Great work, not overpriced at all.

Tell either of these guys Kurt referred you.

I need to do this to mine as well. Did you get all of the hoses etc with the radiator? cost?

Give 911 design in Montclair a try. They specialize in 911s and a lot of the gt3 guys use them.

Does anybody know if it is possible to add the third radiator if you have the Aerokit bumper? I would think the bumper would have to modified somehow.

Probably the bumper opening shroud is different, but the mount to car would be the same. Not sure if there is an additional vent inlet from top bumper opening as well.

The argument against the extra radiator is increased weight. I have thought about adding one as well as I track my car a lot, but I have never seen the water temperature go above it's normal operating position.

I ran over an hour straight on the track on Monday at 95 degrees outside temp, and no movement at all.
