I finally got around to putting it in. It went in easy. Its thicker so it is a little har to get in, but nothing too bad. The only problem I had was that the part that the part on the drivers side of the radiator that goes through that bracket was a HAIR off, so I had to force it, but after about 10 minutes I got both bolts down.
I put one gallon of antifreeze, a gallon of some of this stuff:
, and a bottle of watter wetter. I havent gotten to take it out in the heat yet, but so far its staying cooler than it did.

Heres a pic of the stock rad VS the Mishimoto. Its DEFINITELY not an OEM replacement.

My bottom went in the brackets fine, but I had the same problems with the top bracket. It all worked out in the end.
