Center Radiator Kit where to get the best deal?
Ok guys....
ISO GT3 Center Radiator kit @ best price.
I have a 2000 C2 factory Areo Kit (GT3 Look) car
Been running warmer than original temps for years now...
Not too hot just not where it was when I got her new.
and in FL I don't want to keep cooking her in the summer.
Done all the normal stuff like dropping the bumper and cleaning out
the whole thing....(Radiators and condensor)
Even went as far as using a special Porsche FLUSH (This was expensive stuff too) to make sure I did not have an internal problem "clog" problem
since at one time they put coolant in the car and it was VW coolant...since the Porsche stuff had not passed EPA yet....(well that is what I was told in 2000)....
and had my coolant tank replaced (3) times over the years.
So I figured the flush was cheaper than parts....well I know its clean inside :-)
I'm going to put the Kit on but I want to get a good price on this kit.
Also want to make sure its using all the right parts...
(I think they are all selling the same kit)
Just want to find who give us the best price?
Next step is to replace the two factory radiators if this kit does not do the complete job, I figure with all the track miles I got the radiators have a lot of
bent foils that makes the cooling less efficient...but first things first.
(Actually my wrench says he has a comb tool we may be able to use on the
radiators before I replace.)
Also, anyone make a mesh grill to protect the radiator compartment
(nothing too restrictive or I'm moving backwards :-) )
Thanks In Advance!

Cargraphic makes grills up front that look fantastic. Can't remember who had them on their car around here but it's a recent post so a search should turn it up. If I'm not too lazy, I'll get back to you with it.
As for the 3rd radiator, it's worth a call to Sunset to see what they can offer you.
UPDATE: Well that search didn't take long. Here's the link:
