Default Protecting front mount fins?

Do you guys do anyhing to protect the fins on your front mount?? Just got the supercharger installed and tuned last week, drove it to the beach this weekend and all ready have a couple of fins bent. It annoying me a little since the heat exchanger is brand new. Just wondering if people have any solutions or whether I just have to live with it.


Thanks

Greg

you will need 2 things


1:Your girlfriend/wife
2:A set of tweezers



these things are open to airflow, and will get hit no matter what you do. They will just need to be straightened out, not hard, but tedious.

Put her to work.

HAHAHA yeah right. I had to bend over backwards for her to let me get the supercharger!! I can't imagine if I asked her to help work me work on the car. I guess I will be spending a lot of time this summer with a set of tweezers in my hand.
