if its koyo, then it should be polished. it will be all polished. top bottom and fins.

I know the OEM one uses plastic endtanks and they have been known to crack along the seam. I would deffinatly go with the Koyo if the end tanks are metal and not plastic and only $25 more.

i have a koyo all aluminum, if you take off your A/C its the same it just doesn't come with some tabs for the fan...they look almost the same. just get th a/c trust me.

Re: (SilverDc2)
Hey bro dont go koyo, there are fitment issues.i had the same problem deciding either koyo,c&r or fluidyne, after my old oem radiator had a hole in it. I dont wanna go oem because i dont wanna worry about plastic crap.I chose the fluidyne all aluminum radiator. Check it out, i even bought a flexilite derale fans that mount perfectly on the ac side.
