Default Forward tilted radiator in C6

I've seen a few turbo C6s that have forward tilted radiators. What needs to happen to do this on a C6?

Seeing if i can make more room for a plate HX trans cooler, Dewitts radiator and dual fans i want to do.

Cutting the crash beam, remove the foam reinforcement and fab up some mounts. If you're still running a/c, you may need to have some custom lines made, extend some wires for the fans, etc..

Yes, that and you will probably have to relocate your impact sensors from the crash beam. Also, you will have to modify the radiator support/cradle. It's not really that hard if you have access to a welder and some simple sheet metal tools.

I have access to both so i may do it. I feel like for a centri car it would be beneficial to have that extra room. I need to find a place for this damn trans cooler

I pulled the fog lights and am using the sides for other coolers.

I have a huge independent Transmission cooler under my left rear bumper with an independent fan attached to the cooler and it works incredible, did that since 2009 and never had an issue since then, I also have a rear end cooler on the other side under the bumper setup the same way, now I did the same up front, I have an independent engine cooler with fan attached under my left front bumper just under the fog light.
