I just reused the stock temp probe plug that screws into the bottom of your radiator. So they kick on at certain temps.

The polished fan shroud kit with fans is $399 and we also sell the unpolished for $349.

Thanks man! That's the main reason I flew out of state to pick it up. All the ones around my area were "trashed" but this one was super clean and I just had to get it!

To make delicious JDM cookies

No really, I put them in the oven to heat them up to separate them so I can clear the corners out.

speaking of strut bars, will the 2nd gen gs strut fit on our 1st gens? im guessing yes but i want to make sure before i buy one. and i was reading in a magazine about how the metal where the strut tower is at is very weak and they recommend some reinforcement plates. anyone have them?

I left them in there for about 7 minutes at 250 degrees. Let me know who it goes.

I want to say yes also because a guy I know from this forum CarbonGS that has a 2nd gen bought a 1st gen Aristo strut bar and used it for awhile but now got a new one. So I would assume it works vice versa as well. I'll double check with him again.
