I had to do a double take at this setup, you may as well just block off the opening of the front bumper Nice looking car IMHO otherwise..

Poor FD

I bet the guy pulled the rad fans out as well as positioning it right in front of the ic. I wonder what type of intake temps he must be seeing. That radiator core doesn't seem very thick either. Compare the size of the rad to the relays right next to it.

Its obvious the car has been hit in the front and was probably repaired by some butcher. Pretty damn sad if you ask me.
