    Hmmm.... I'm almost positive *someone* does because I put a set onto Cliff S's polished stainless frame when mounting the radiator. No idea where he got them from though. He's got a lot of parts I've never seen anywhere else. Only person I know that actually has stainless coolant lines; then of course he took them a step farther and polished them to a mirrored finish.

    EDIT: Both the brackets and the coolant lines are shown in this photo:http://photos.grenexmedia.com/Events..._TPG9JKz/Large

    I'd be interested in a set of stainless upper radiator support brackets too if they're available somewhere. I got my old ones powder coated but I'd prefer stainless if someone is making them.

    Grand prize of $0 to the first person to guess who might one day make these...

    Drove the D to work today. Love how these cars look in the dark, the way the stainless shines with all the running lights burning just looks so cool.

    Ok, I'll say it and collect my $0... DPI!

    Also, great picture! Car does look good in low light with the shine off the stainless.

    Quick update on what I've been doing: Last night started replacing my radiator. Had a new one from DMCMW sitting in the garage for a while waiting for me to have time. Right now the new one is mounted on 3 of the 4 mounting points. Need to finish mounting, hook up the plumbing, and reattach the shroud. Also while I had it out I replaced my working OEM fans with Toby's low power fans. Seemed like the right time to do it.

    Great news David! Did you make a call on your header bottle yet?

    As much as I'd like to have the original look with the improved plastic bottle, I'm going stainless because it says to the world "I'm taking care of my car." Thinking years out if I were to ever sell the car it is something a novice buyer could point to easily and say "he took care of that problem."
