This past weekend I was looking on eBay and saw someone selling the "Mesh" inserts for the stock front bumper. I thought they looked cool but didn't really see a purpose for them. That was until I took a flashlight and looked into mine !!! Holy SNIKES !!! About 25% of both radiators was blocked by debris (leaves, bugs, cigarette butts, dirt, rocks, condom, etc...). I ended up taking off the bumper cover and giving it a good cleaning. The temp gauge dropped about an 1/8th of an inch to just over 180'ish.

Check yours out !!!
