Default what to do with smic

Exactly what the title says. I picked this baby up for cheap and am tryin to keep the whole install cheap...... HMT style, but I can't figure out where to put it and have it work efficiently. BTW I plan on getting one of those civic 1/2 sized radiators (on the lookout). here are some pics of my Intacoola. Please show me some pics or try to explain where I can mount this besides up my ***
It's 4" thick
12" tall
about 8" wide

Yup. Make a scoop of sorts pushing air into where its sitting. Or you could just mount it in the front. Or the side. Just stick it somewhere where it'll be getting air.

Just leave the stock wheel well covers on... its then shielded from damage.

Cut vents so the air has a place to go. A good example would be the inner fenders on a GSX or GST Eclipse.

I'm going to give the wheel well a try, wojo, do you have any pics to share? better yet which side is best? I'm going to plumb some air to it too.
