If you track/drive spirited alot, then the mugen thermo/fan switch is a decent investment

Considering a stock one is only 25 bucks and all that is different in an aftermarket "low temp" stat is the type of metal that triggers the opening, that's quite a mark up. But then, I guess that little sticker you can paste on your fender is worth the 50 extra bucks.

To bad stickers cost extra, not included with the thermostat.

Ok, next question: Is that the only aftermarket supplier for lower temp T-Stats?
