This is awesome. Would be sweet to see some pics of it installed and close ups of any parts you had to modify. links are always appreciated too.
Out of curiosity, where did you get the idea to steal it from a Solara?

It's good to know that this helped your cooling problem. Now you just have to get those new hood props.

Nice, I saw those on eBay and for the 3VZFE engines as well. Won't need one since I have a new OEM koyo radiator when I rebuilt my engine.
