Thumbs up Where to buy front mount radiator?

Can't seem to find where they are sold. Looking for the front mount radiator to replace the stock vortech heat exchanger. googl'ed it and can't find anywhere that sells it.
Has anyone had any cooling issues with them in front of the radiator and all? On an AP2 bumper it goes in place of where the grill would be right? Or is it behind it?

Thanks for the info Sideways.
Guess SOS has them. Black and bare metal finish.

Anyone know if I would need the whole kit for $399.99 or just the upgraded heat exchanger for $329.99?
I have the stock vortech one with the water pump and coolant lines and all already.

Hey you have any pictures of it installed? I want to see how it looks installed. Found a used one on ebay for $50 plus shipping right now so might be a good cheap option!

Anyone know the dimensions of the upgraded s2000 one? I have seen a bunch of other ones for no specific car but don't know what size I need to fit.

Looks great! Do you know what the dimensions are for that?
Are there dimensions it really needs to stay within to be able to mount it easily? I think I will probably just buy one of the ebay heat exchangers as I have had great luck with no name intercoolers in the past.
Just not sure what size I would have to buy. Would prefer the endtanks to be hidden when installed but not that big of a deal.

Ok sweet. I will probably pick this up and see how it works. Super cheap but nothing too high tech about these to work well so should be good I would think.

Heat exchanger

See any reason why this wouldn't work?

Thanks a lot for the help man!
PS your car looks great!!

Also have you or anyone else ever overheated or anything from having it block the radiator from air? Or does enough pass through still to go to the radiator and supply efficient cooling?
I know on my eclipse with a front mount intercooler I had overheating issues due to the itnercooler blocking too much air.
