I love the color!

Some updates to report.

I got both bumpers sent off and both Ames and Tri City Plating have received them. I contacted Ames today and asked that they waive that 10% restocking fee and stated some of the reasons discussed here why they shouldn't charge me that. They did honor my request with no argument so my refund is being processed and will show on my credit card. Btw, I do want to express how nice Donovan was during the whole return process and he actually calls back or emails back when he says he will. That seems hard to get in this day and age.

Installed the transmission cooler that I got with the transmission from Art Carr. He insisted I buy this from him and I'm glad he did. It's nice and small and there was a perfect place to mount it. I refuse to use the plastic ties that go thru the cores so I hunted for a good place and it was obvious that not only was the center bracket a perfect place but it was pretty much the only place for it to attach. I fabricated 3 small brackets and it's very solid and about 1/8" from the condenser core.







Here it is with the horns mounted. The assembly manual shows the horn on the left to use the upper bolt hole and the one on the right the lower. However, for the left horn to clear the cooler, I had to do it the opposite way.
I can't see it will make any difference at this point.



I bought new transmission cooler hard lines from Inline tube and got them installed yesterday and hooked up the hoses to the auxiliary cooler today. I had to modify the tubes bit to connect to the 2004-R transmission. The connection points aren't in exactly the same place or angle as a Turbo 400 and the pressure line on my transmission is the top connection where on a Turbo 400 it's bottom one.





Installed both doors and latches a couple of days ago and the d/s fender today:
