^ More likely because their radiator was shot, or dying, to begin with.

haha if anything it will help.. the vents will keep the engine cooler. cracked radiators are common on our cars.. has nothing to do with the hood.

you are going to need the GT-4 bumper too or modify your stock support, otherwise you will have the ugly GAP!!!!
