I mounted mine through the stainless steel side panels, into the wheel wells so I could put stainless steel bolts and nuts on them. I only used one mounting cross arm to mount the motors to, not two like I've seen in others but believe me its plenty sturdy with just one. Don't mount it to the fiberglass surrond that supports the radiator as it will put the fan blades to close to the face of the radiator with not enough clearance. You want about 3/4" between fans and face, best way to accomplish this is to use a 3/4" thick piece of cardboard taped to the front of the radiator and put your setup with blades attached against it to see where the side mounting brackets will fall.(also helps to protect the radiator) I hooked mine up to a seperate circuit so I can turn them on/off at will. I personally like it better that way. No problem whatsoever with cooling or turbulence. You can tell when the factory fans come on by the light at which point you can switch the pusher fans off if you want. Actually the pusher fans don't do such a bad job anyway. Too bad you hadn't seen my earlier post, I put the whole setup together for about $55, and it looks just like Jay's in the picture. Same color car too !!
