The we come down to fit........The unit I have did not fit worth shit. The rubber that was supposed to secure the radiator barely touched the radiator and all of the downward pressure was on the edge of the aluminum condensor...........very poor in my opinion. I spent an hour trying to position the Vararam with no luck. Also the unit is slightly too wide as with one of the long screws in place the other side no matter what I did was cocked and would not screw in straight. At this point I gave up and everything went back into the box.
I recived a PM from Vararam and tried calling them a few times this afternoon and left a message but they never got back to me.
I guess I'll have to settle for the CAI. :(
More pictures.....
Almost all of the downward pressure was on the edge of the AC condensor
Right side = Straight bolt
Left side = Cocked

I have a vararam on my car and as you said it sits on the AC condenser, so what its sat there for over 54,000 mi and as for the bolts to hold the radiator in place till this week i did not run any thing to hold it in place i am on my 3 vararam this one is a tune model and i love it, it performs like no other intake, and its the 5th intake on my car let me say the other 2 intakes lasted less then 4 hr on the car and if it was up to me the 2 intakes will never be on my car, Thanks Steve and patrick for a great intake.
Now can you get patrick to make the manifold we need it .
