Burp the system. Idle the car with the radiator uncapped till it is at operating temperature. Have your heaters on and at full blast.

Is your undertray on the car? Without this the radiator will not get enough airflow.

How did you check to see if your coolant seals were bad? Are you losing coolant but no leaks on the ground? when you start the engine cold will it quickly show a high temp on the gauge while sitting still at idle?

^ To continue his line of thinking, do you see constant bubbles coming from the filler neck when the car is running?

It'd be a lot nicer if your undertray was just missing.
