Why don't you do the Dodge Neon radiator?

LOL, try the neon one. I posted a pic of mine all leaned back (92-95 PWR Civic Rad in a 90 CRX DX) and it loks ghey. I mean I like it. But its too ghetto fabulous to copy. If leaned back and secured though, I mean you have the room......

I turbocharged my ZC in my 89 CRX Si. I used the half size radiator out of a 98 civic in order for the turbo to fit. The only problem I ran into is that the radiator is taller.
