I figure it can't hurt... I know people say don't fix something that's not broke... But... Ahh **** it. The stock one is ugly anyway. Polish polish polish! I love the polish!
Any one of the previously mentioned rads will do.
Get it on!

Polished Radiators are cool.
I have had no cooling issues with my Koyo. I HAVE had problems with the relays getting water in them and not turning the fans on...that sucked. Good thing that I had an aftermarket temp gauge....the stock needle NEVER moved, but I hit 110 Celsius.
With the PFC, it turns the fans on at 95 celsius (low) and 100 celsius(high), but it would still hit 108-109 and then slowly back down to 95 where it would go up and down between 95 and 105. This is why I tell people to get the Datalogit from Glen in New Zealand. I now have my fans turning on at 85 and 90...nice and cool!

If it cracks you replace it. I'm just saying it's one of those things that MAY break on you, and if it does, then replace it. I have almost 100k on my car and the stock end tanks have held up just fine. Worst case scenario, one of the endtanks lets go, you turn the car off, have it towed home and buy you a new fancy one.
Where do you change the fan temp settings with the PFC commander? 1/2 the reason I bought my datalogit was to adjust those settings. I am going to feel dumb for being in such a rush to get it when I could have just changed the settings with my commander. Not that the Datalogit was a bad investment, I just havent used it to its potential yet since I dont have a wide-band O2 sensor.
