Default Cargraphic oil cooler group buy and fitment...

I am considering getting this oil cooler, however, I am concerned about the fit. Mark in Baltimore posted that he could not get it to properly fit underneath his bumper cover. This has been the only post regarding this. I just want to know if everyone with a stock narrowbody bumper (no splitters) has fit this under their bumper or not? Thanks.

Having recently installed a Cargraphics Oil cooler, I'd say it is very tight with the stock bumper, and because there are variations between cars, it might or might not fit with yours. When we removed the stock bumper area by the AC condenser, it was sobering to see what abuse the stock bumper had taken. I'm between ROW sport and RS height, and it was pretty scraped up. With a larger oil cooler just below the skin, it is a legitimate area of concern. The new splitter will give you more room, but increases the cost of the cooler. The cooler is a significant upgrade, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but it is expensive when done right.
Hope this helps.

I have used 3 different bumper covers now with my Cargraphic unit, and have not had any issues like Mark did with it sticking down too far.

The only potential issue was using the bracket provided on the front aluminum bumper. This did make fitting the cover quite difficult. In the end, I just tie wrapped the lines to the bumper and everything worked fine.
