Anywhere you put it, you will have to fab up some brackets. I recomment you never mount an oil cooler upside down line that, it creates air pockets when you shut the car off which delays oil delivery to the motor at start up.

check chebostos post about his cooler, he did a custom bracket, it worked out well and looked awesome. whats that black container to the left of your intercooler by the power steering cooler, my G doesnt have that. and why is your bumper cut off on that side. i think those fittings on the oil cooler are too low for the plastic to fit.

I ditched the windshield washser bottle, (replaced it with a smaller bottle) and mounted my oil cooler there - I have the Greddy front bumper and the oil cooler sits directly behind the left opening in the bumper...
