My 2001 Italian Stallion money pit build

ATI super damper came in, damaged... :/ the "buy expensive stuff and they ship defective" curse continues. Called FAB9 and they will be sending a replacement.
Setrab oil cooler kit came in, looks good. Not sure if I have enough oil line. I was planning on mounting the oil cooler on the side of the Rotrex cooler bracket, there is very good ducting to bring air to that section of inner bumper (courtesy of Track Dog Racing's thoroughness) However, that is a lot of oil line (and oil capacity) to move, maybe it would negatively effect other radiators, and oil pressure.
I'll find a place for it, eventually.
Do i have to add oil like topping off coolant? Have to get the car up to temp, wait for the oil thermostat to open, then add oil? Seems tricky.

^ the damper looks like it was dropped off a table or something. Edge material is bent over the ribbing for a belt. Erin packed the pulley. I blame her. The bubble wrap wasn't damaged in the least. Damage occured before wrapped.
sorry about the size. I can't use the email app anymore (which let me resize the images as I was attaching them)

10ft should be enough to run the cooler Bosozoku style in front of the bumper. If you think you need more, I'll gladly sell you more, but I've never had an install take more than about 7-8ft of line in total. 10ft should be plenty.

I've ordered parts from Rockauto for years and years, and they only messed up my order once. And they shipped me a new part for free, with overnight shipping, and said keep the wrong one I received.
I agree QC is something that is super lacking. I've had good luck with FM though, they seem to be pretty good in my experience. Well packaged and whatnot, haven't had any issues with them and I've had several orders from them over the years.

For me, quality control isn't some nice lady who calls me to make sure I'm happy with the part I just ordered.
I don't care if they are the rudest, most insulting people on the planet. If they send me a part, and it's high quality, well designed, not defective, as in, someone actually inspected the product before packing, idgaf. I'm happy.
