    You can get an aftermarket set up. The transmission cooler can be found for under $100 and the wiring could probably be done for $300 for both connection styles. Then you'd have to decide if the larger alternator is needed. I'd say yes, but you could get away without it.

    Hey Sorgon, does the adhesive go on the underside? The look is really nice but I don't know if I'd be comfortable with adhesive on the finish of my hood...

    But the tape does stick on the underside of the hood and not on the finish of the hood? Sorry, I read my first question and realized I wasn't clear...

    Nothing is taped to the underside. Its all taped to the top finished side of the hood. There are tiny gaps between the tape, I could pissibly spray water in to clean out dust collected on the inside, as for the outside, I will keep a close eye on dust build up and clean it when needed. Not a big deal.
    But yes I took a chance with the tape because I read more reviews on the other kind eventually wearing the paint down with small vibrations in the gap between visor and hood.
