    That would be Screech. She's the most normal/least troublesome of these hooligans. I raised her from 3 days old. Bottle fed and lost sleep for her and her sister and this is the thanks I get. The one in the dog food was half dead and maybe 3 months old when I found her in my driveway and so she eats until she explodes and is relentless about getting to/into food.

    I did mine about 5 years ago and it made no difference in my running temps in the Tx Gulf Coast heat. I did ensure that I used a couple of light coats to just "de-silver" the color. While I don't disagree that if can affect the overall heat transfer, since it adds material to the fins whether it actually is enough to make a difference is debatable. The paint, assuming light coat, will be on the leading edge of the fin, and maybe 1/4 or a 1/3 in, so the majority of the fins are uncoated and dissipating heat.

    BTW, on my 2nd gen at least, the AC rad is the one in front.

    I painted that vertical bar on the left side of the radiator.

    I tapped off the actually radiator when I did it.

    The retro graphics are bad ass! Want, but don't fix the problem.

    My glare is at the trailing edge of the hood, where it meets the cowl. A little on the main center of the hood too, but not much as that trailing edge!

    It's a massive PITA because I can tell it's going to happen for about 8-9 months out of the year when the sun is shining bright
