Default Radiator support

I am changing out my radiator support today from the factory installed to a KEWL custom painted support.

I do belive it will be an easy installation but any advice will helpfull. Besides it is a good reason to bring the car out of mothballs for a while as temperatures should hit around 60 today

Yes, it will be easy. Unplug and remove your airbridge. You will than have four 10mm bolts to remove. That's it. You may be able to just disconnect the airbridge from the Tbody but since you are putting in painted stuff I would just remove it and not take the chance of scratching the new piece while sliding it under.

The job is pretty easy, but it would be easier if you had a helper when you get ready to install the painted part, simply to keep it from getting scratched.
