This has been a huge hassle for me so far.

Weekend #1: lay all the parts out and start taking the car apart. Realize that they sent me mismatched fittings even though I ordered the -10 kit. I got -10 on one side, and -12 for the 90's. Called them and they sent out the correct size (slowly...)

Weekend #2:


So, the 90d fittings that plug into the oil cooler are facing OPPOSITE of eachother and there is no way to get them to grab/thread so they are facing the same way. On top of this, the one on the right is STUCK in the tru cool oil cooler and no amount of force, wrenching, leverage was able to unscrew it. Now it's stuck in there facing the wrong way and all scratched up.

I really appreciate this write-up; it was very good. Unfortunately for me, the hassle of all of this and trying to fab up a bracket isn't worth the 200 bucks I saved by not buying a pre-built kit.
