Well, thanks to the efforts of Guy, I have the RC dual fans that everyone on TB.com is raving about. It's everything they say, and then some.
First off, these fans are *cake* to install. I think the only thing easier than this is changing a chip. Really. It's that easy.
I removed the stocker, which took a few minutes, and removed the lower bracket attached to the fan.
I then removed the four mounting ears that are attached to the RC fans. You can leave them on, but it don't look too good that way, IMO.
I then installed the RC fans by placing the lower portion of the fans into the "channel" that is between the radiator and the place where the lower bracket bolts up to. The lower part of the RC fans fit snug into this area. Next, I took the bracket that I removed from the stocker, and oriented it so the holes lined up with the studs that are used to secure the AC lines. The holes in the bracket line up perfect, so there's no need to drill. When you drive down the nuts that secure this assembly, it pushes the bracket snug against the top of the RC fans, holding everything in place.
If you trim the sides right, the fans should fit nicely in the back of the radiator. Plug the GN harness in, and that's it.
I ran the car in the driveway until it reached operating temperature. When the fans kicked on, the car cooled down, quick! They seem to work much better than the stocker, and they don't look out of place.
Well, that's about it. Hope this info helps someone who may be installing one in the future.
