Default FM Cooling plate installed..pics for those who are wondering.



Installed the cooling plate the other day, easy install, and makes it look cleaner under the hood.

Just thought I would post it up for you guys thinking about a next mod.

pics were taking with my Sidekick II so don't flame the quality.

Looks good, how much it cost and have you noticed any difference in temperature?

Horrible quality picture

There is no way you will notice a difference in temp with the horrid stock cluster. If you had a water temp gauge you would probably notice a few degrees drop while driving, maybe more in a racing type situation.

A radiator shroud . . . directs any air that would normally get past the radiator to it instead.

I make a polished ones for the guys who want some bling. Here is a picture of how shiny they are once polished.



Here is one before the logos were put in. This is without a hand polish.



And finally...installed

Ok I have seen five-o's plate in person and it looks great, and dang that polished one looks cool too,defenitely the way to go with an alum. radiator, but I would have to leave mine white to match my car. And my car never heats up enough in winter to give me heat, so I have no need until I replace my thermostat anyways.

those look like the azect ones....

I'm not a fan of those plates because they seem to bow down and not reach the outer edges enough, that homemade one looks like the way to go
