Now remember guys, just because you put in a transmission cooler, doesn't mean that you don't need to change the transmission fluid every so often Even though I don't plan on getting a transmission cooler any time soon, I do a drain and fill every other oil change to keep it on the safe side. 15 bucks extra is better than a new transmission.

Here you go guys. This is the difference between your normal rubber lined stainless steel line vs. the Teflon lined stainless steel lines. Just wanted to show everyone the difference between the two and that you are able to purchase both and find both fairly easily.

I went with an Earl's tranny cooler. Part number I think is EAR-42508ERL . I got it from Summit racing.. We mounted it out in front. We went with blk braided lines instead of the typical stainless like DC mentioned.

Blue...thanks for the input! Your engine bay looks insane BTW! You MUST have an excellent paint shop. If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for a paint job like that along with painting the engine bay; ballpark range is fine if your OK with answering. Damn...very nice work!

Great! Thanks for the reply bro...$3K for the whole car isn't really that bad considering that a lot of shops quoted me around $1200 just to paint the hood, front/rear bumpers and skirts. I priced this out when I was looking into buying a bodykit at one point. I guess dollar for dollar it pays just to do the whole damn thing!
