Default Upgraded Power steering cooler.

So, few years back i hit a raccoon with my z and not only destroyed my bumper he bent my power steering cooler. fortunately it didn't leak! thank God. Anyways. Since i needed to get a new cooler, I wanted to do something cool, rather then replacing the cooler with an original piece, i wanted something with more "pop". I ended up finding this cool 7 row oil cooler for 20 bucks on ebay lol! over kill, i know, but it works and did the trick. Went to home depot bought an aluminum 4' L bracket, only size they had. Cut the shape i needed and bolted everything on. Went to napa bought 3/8 tranny cooler line. Bought some A/N fitting and gave it a professional assembly look. Reused the old squeeze clamps on the hard line and used gates shrinkable powergrip clamps on the A/N 90 degree fitting side. Worked like a charm. Cost just around 100 bucks for everything and you cant beat the look. 7 row might be overkill for my use, its my daily with a few 1/4 mile track times and sprinted driving, but it works. Out with the old and in with the new. If you guys need help i can make a parts list
