It looks pretty sexy. It is only about twice the price of a reputable radiator.

Do you plan on entering Rally car?

@ben850... I like performing a repair only once or twice within a certain time frame. This is why i buy all my parts from fcpeuro because the quality is good and the warranty is forever. Now if i buy this rad, it's never going to crack which happened to my last OEM one and i'm sure it will reduce the weight and improve cooling

I was just playing.

It looks very nice, and I agree with you on what looks like a bullet proof, hopefully, one time investment.
I had ordered my expansion tank hoses from them in Sweden. They are very nice as well. And only about four times the price of OEM. But I am also happy when I'm pretty sure it is a part I will only need to replace once.
Swedish Silicone.

Their shipping is a little slow from Sweden if I recall. I needed a Radiator overnighted so I went for Nissens from FCP.
