got my fullblown radiator. showed up with the box looking like a fork lift drove through it. I filled the radiator up with water and it didn't appear to leak but we will see once I put in coolant and get it under pressure. I pm'd fullblown and wasn't offered a replacement or partial reimbursement, i was told we would have to file a claim with fedex. I think sending me a new radiator and filing your own claim would've been the best solution for me as a customer but not every business believes in treating the customer like they matter.
we will see how it holds up but the guy who said if it doesn't show up scratched and dented it insn't a fullblown. Thats true, bent fins and not the best looking radiator. shoulda gone mishimoto.. I ordered their fans and the packaging was as nice as the fans themselves

I walked into the shop and bought one the other day. Seems to work very well but I used lava mat to make the seal between the radiator and the support at the top, and since mine seemed to mount much lower in the car than the oem I had to use the two top brackets upside down to hold it in place and bend the two lower large fan tabs down. But I am happy with it.

Ha ha, that must be it. Well my rubber mounts are in the landfill by now. The two posts fit into the holes and the radiator does not budge but I suppose rubber mounts would be better.
