I must say I think its hanging too low. I'd be afraid to scrape if I were in your shoes. Nice job on the rigging though.

You should have bought ZZP stage 3 h/e. It covers very nice the entire front lower grille.

Should have got the ZZP S3.. It's only like $220. I agree with Blazin, it looks rigged.

I helped my buddy install his S3 and we did it without taking the fascia off, no problem.

you dont have to take the front clip off but it was easy to do so i took it off..it wasnt rigged thats the actual set up of it..and u can bolt it up higher if u wish u jus gotta move the bracket over so it clears the cap thats all...and yes it is my h/e and personally i lik the look of it coming down the road and it does work well..i just thought id share a couple pics just like everyone else does on these forums..but hey everyone has ther own opinions..and imo i lik it and its my car

It appears that a cobalt addiction and a CX heat exchanger are one and the same.

And yes.. yours hangs low.. .. watch out for curbs

CX HE on my Car:

While I do understand it is your car, and you like it.. That is not really the issue. I don't know about you, if you're lowered or not, but my front lip scrapes quite often on the under side. Your H/E appears to be roughly 2-3" lower than your lip. All I'm trying to say is I hope you're careful. Watch for **** in the road, speed-bumps, potholes, curbs, animals such as raccoons, etc. You'd be better off just fixing it and mounting it higher dude. It's not worth it.

Is that the drain plug on the top? flip it over so it sits flush on the crash bar and it will look a million times better.

You did a nice job installing it. You just need to have it sit more flush against the crash bar/bumper support. Shorten up the brackets, set the heat exchanger back a bit, and you will be golden. My car is at stock ride height, and I have scrapped the lip a few times. I can only imagine what will happen to your heat exchanger if you park to close to a parking block, or hit some road debris .

Just trying to help you out man.
