Other than the zip ties, they look outstanding.

Do you have a picture from the front. Is the cover all round what if so what do the air flow vents look like. I am sure Eddie or Brent woul like a closer look. Hint Hint....

Oh, no! I thought I was done. This is not good for us chrome-a-holics...

They have stainless wire ties at the auto store if you want to ditch those black ones until you get it sorted out. It's some nice work.

I am a certified chromophobe, just more to clean, but that is a definate improvement over the stock eyesore of an oil cooler! Can we get a pic from a different angle?

Look sharp and will sell I am sure.Functionally an oil cooler is suppose to cool oil and chrome holds heat in.It kind of kills some of the cooling affect of the oil cooler.In the hotter climates I would be concerned otherwise I would not worry if you dig the chrome look.Nice work.
