Default Tranny cooler mounting.... help

I have FTRA and Id rather not hack it up quite yet. So how about behind the air dam, right under the flap that moves to get to the fog lights on the pass side? Is it ok to mount it to the plastic? And is it alright to have it against the plastic? Also I will cut holes into the air dam to help it get some air flow... and maybe some of the plastic in behind the cooler... the car is up in the air... so help

Hey man, just place it infront of the radiator. The FTRA doesn't do much anyway

i have mine mounted "Dope" style . works great. i also have a FTRA that why i mounted dope style. i have once seen over 200 and that was in traffic on an extremely hot day since there is little airflow where the cooler is mounted. once traffic opened up and the cooler got some airflow temps went down to sub 180 in a few miles.
good luck!
