stock radiator?
how many rows is the stock radiator? i got my radiators.com radiator, and its at least twice as thick as my stock one... it also has fittings on the bottom, look like they might be for a transmission cooler ala automatic transmission radiator... dunno...
edit: or could i have gotten the larger radiator because i told them my car was an SE? either way it fits, just wondering lol

The fittings are for a tranny cooler, don't have to worry about plugging them. Yes you probably got a 3 row rad which is what I have a they cool great. You should have no problems.

I could swear (at least I thought I could) that they were two row...
And I thought the shorter rads were 3...
