Also the 20 or so pounds it saves as well as the battery relocation helps offset the added weight of the cooling system.....it was also super freaking expensive so I really can't not use it
Oh nice, I didn't know of the other benefits other then weight, that does help. Well since currently it does its functional job, making it look pretty - or painting it, doesn't seem like much of a priority, finish up what needs to be done, have it all together and then maybe see if you want to get it painted to match the rest. Ohhh and once everything is in place, get it on the scales to see how much it weighs- and F:R weight percentages, those would be interesting to see. I guess if you got it corner balanced they would show you all that info.

Its crazy to see how a "fun little summer project" has evolved.
