I installed the front mount kit on my MR about a month ago. The kit came with very good instructions, including photos, and a template for mounting the kit on the drivers side front bumper. The install was very strait forward and per the instructions. The only instructions not included were for wiring the fan and motor. As was stated in the kit, this was because there are a few different ways to wire it, depending on personaly preference. I used a relay (not required or included), and mounted the included the control switch inside the car on the left side of the dash, below the steering wheel, somewhat out of sight. I put the switch on the ground side of the relay circuit, though the switch supplied with the kit is high enough amp rating to run it on the power side without a relay if you so choose. The fuse wire included with the kit was perfect for picking up power off of the jumper block in the engine bay (under the red plastic cover). I also had them ship me the inline (cleanable) filter, and installed it in line with the original oil cooler, and removed the factory filter completely. I originally was planning on removing the factory cooler, but decided against it, and run both coolers.
The kit came with the cooler/fan assy, pump, wires, switch, hoses, AN hose fittings, hose clamps, banjo fittings for top of cooler, fuse, mount bolts for cooler, self tapping screws (that actually work!) for mounting the pump, and zip ties.
Additional supplies I used were about 20 zip ties for wiring (because I'm anal like that), teflon wrap for where hoses contact structure, terminal connectors, and a 40 amp weather proof relay (over kill). For those that care, the relay I used is a start relay for an 81 Harley.
Here are some photos of my installation that aren't exactly the same as the photo's Kris has already posted.
This is where I mounted the fuse wire and picked up power:

Here is where I put the switch. I was careful to make sure there is nothing behind it, and it is NOT possible to knee it getting in and out of the car.
