i noticed that too. it doesn't look like a very good fit. maybe it was just mounted a bit awkwardly?

It looks dented from underneath, like the fan clutch may have caused the fan to explode. Check out the thread "And BOOM it went through my hood!" The damage looks similar, though I would have expected the damage to be closer to the front of larinah's car if that was the case though.

I know and I think thats why I like it. Not too many
people would have the bawls or ignorance to do it.

Hey at least I ll get people something to talk about like.
"Oh, there goes that car with the hideous bumper sticker
that smoked my corvette last week."
