    Figured I should post in here now that my front end is nearly where I want it.

    Went from bone stock...



    To lowered with black iS lip, brake ducts, fog blanks, and mhw turns



    Same setup but decided to color match the lip



    Destroyed my first iS lip, went on to the next one and back to black. Also added depo smileys.



    Decided to ditch the depo's for a set of bosch euro ellipsoids which I proceded to smoke.



    Which brings me to the latest iteration. Sold the iS lip, ditched the blanks, threw on an ACS apron, and yellow lamin-x'd the highs. Fogs will be going in shortly.

      I have a euro s50b32 radiator in it now and it gets pretty hot, the last thing I need to do is put a smaller radiator in.

        Then something is wrong or your fan does not provide sufficient cooling.

        My S50 car has an M42 radiator and has NEVER heated up on me.

                I have a slim pusher fan. My coolant temp sender is on the head in the same location as the stock one, and it gets to about 200-220F.
