'nuff said.

Yeah..... that'd be my bad I was the first one to call it that. I don't know which is which. Guess I should've checked b4 I made my post but the point is still valid. As for what I'm doing, I'm starting to lean more towards just playing the odds just cause I think that if I ever have a problem, I can just get a replacement one for free or at least dirt cheap.

im just thinking you think putting a grill on will really reduce the air flow to the car by that much?

Why so worried? Haven't any of you ever seen a Mitsubishi Evolution? It's radiator is practically in front of the bumper!

Yeah, but isn't an intercooler radiator? I don't know. The point remains, however. That thing is out there, and I haven't seen anyone put up any extra protection yet.

I wouldn't worry about air flow loss, because it's just a radiator, you'll still get enough air to keep things cool.

and I think it looks good.

you tell me what you think
