I was just wondering (and may be a stupid question) is the rad cover neccesary to keep on the car?
thanx shifted...oh one more question does it help to provide air to the rad cause my car runs hot with the streetfire bumper and a plate on the front (which I have to have there)
Could always stick the plate on the edge of your dash. Thats what I do for daily driving since Europlate + State plate looks gay
yeah they bust us in my city for having it on the dash....they are dicks .......they say it has to be on the front of the vehicle. I have found they actaully notice it more in the window then if u don't have it at all.
Odd because law actually states the plate just has to be visible from the front of the vehicle. I know tons of people running it there with no problems.
The cover doesn't provide any airflow diversion. Increased temps are a common problem with the streetfire front bumper. And yeah, it is illegal in most states to have your plate in your front window, its an obstruction to your view.

does any one have pics of what it looks like with out the rad cover on?
did u happen to remove the black plastic peice that is underneath the rad??? if so thats y ur car might run abit hotter, just something i heard.

i keep it gully like im havin a old friend for lunch
so its easy to remove then?
theres like 8 push pins holding it on. pop your hood, grab a flat head and pop them up and take the cover off. like shifted said, it takes all of about 30 seconds to do.

its because your in Ontario. the Ontario HTA states that it must be attached to the front most part of the automobile and visible from so many yards.
i tried to fight it the when i looked it up in the HTA i gave up. it also poses a safety risk, in an accident it could cause serious injury
