Hits the airbag bar at top, stonetray at bottom, and had to trim left and right sides of the reo bar.You might be able to squueze a slightly wider cooler in if u go like a 76mm cooler,and push it forwards and trim more reo bar.

I think a 600 core is as wide as you can go with decent end tanks without the need to hack up the front of your car.

Go for a straight fit with minimal changes if you can...My two cents!!!

But that's the only way to fit a decent cooler (Except nizpro, and there long ass piping if u dont have there plenum.)
