For those of us that either
a) don't have the spare cash to do this yet (like me because it's all going into the shortblock right now lol) or b) are still on the fence depending on total cost and/or install headaches (whether or not you have to remove A/C, relocate radiator, etc)
Can someone do a good write-up of what they did for install and extra parts needed etc?

I think you mean pusher fans... It looks like it... Now that i'm looking at it though and hearing how people w/ M6's are having clearance issues I'm debating. Anyone have SLP headers before this? I had them on my 99 with stock height and it scraped like mad, will this be just as bad? My 01 with QTP's is lowered and only scrapes occasionally... And with it being a somewhat daily driver/weekend warrior clearance is nice.
