Do you have some better pics of the radiator mounting? Not clear on what you did there.

Or maybe more descriptions of the details.

i think i paid around 180 for it from summit. basically what i did to the radiator was trim the top and bottom fins off to make it sit lower to the original position. then i went to the local hardware store and purchased some rubber gasket material to insulate the metal frame from rubbing on the bottom of the radiator. then i tilted it forward to clear the hood and squeezed some round rubber stoppers to stop the bottom from sliding forward. i also removed the a/c condenser. i hope this helps some more.
