Finally ready to install both the fender extender and radiator screen from ProjektD. Ordered the latter without the inner screen and laser holes, to install fiberglass screening myself. Anyway, did a screen fit first, and was immediately disappointed at the fit. It goes INSIDE the radiator edges, blocking fin area all around. In total it's blocking about 52 sq. inches by my estimation. The fiberglass screening (just like the honeycomb material it comes with) also blocks a little (common sense). Fiberglass screening has never made a difference in any of my vehicles, but I've never blocked the radiators at all. Since I live in very hot TX, and like to travel fast, I'm a bit concerned this thing might make the engine run hotter. Hopefully I can hear from a desert rat with personal experience with it
. Will proceed with the installation of the screening (very time consuming), and also installation of the surround once finished. But would like to know if it's going to be a problem in hot weather. At the first valve inspection, will probably just wrap the radiator once removed and sell this thing. But I'm years away from that (just 70 miles on the clock now
), so plan to use it until then if it's not going to be an issue. Thank you in advance for your help folks.
