the garage that installed the fmic, when putting the electric fan back on they hooked the wires up backwards and didnt leave the power wire, so when i drove home that night i was on the highway and noticed when i got home the temp was up a bit, when i took a ride in the morning i looked down and it was maxed, pulled over, coolant everywhere and noticed the fan wasnt working...

From the looks of that fan, its a Checkers/Auto Zone special. It wasnt good enough to cool that car anyways.

^ Isn't 3" piping a little big...?

I'd go back to the shop that did the install and make them buy you the coolant seals and help pay for the labor (or something)... They messed up your car.
