While we are at the subject of the radiator, it's wise to spend $5 to buy some chicken wire mesh screen to protect your A/C radiator below the bumper. Someone reported a $1,400 repair when it hit a rock. My custom-made mesh screen has two deep dents on it. Without it, I would be out $2,800 now.

I think we need to clarify towing and towing prep packages.
With that mesh don't get the holes so small. I know a few people that buy this stuff from tuning shops and it is wholly inadequate to let air through, though it is a good idea.

Yes, the tuner shop mesh is purely for looks, not function. Mine is country chicken wire.
