Default STS guys, what are you doing with radiator shroud?

After removing factory air box and radiator plastic support. The radiator and the metal coolant pipe lean in toward pulleys, what are you guys doing to hold these radiators back??

Dont take off the plastic support. Either leave it, or replace it with a 'prettier' replacement. You can find polished ones for sale.

rksport i believe sells them?

I got the shiney metal one...I'm guessing the stock one could work though. Zip-tie the crap out of the wires and the coolant line to hold it back, or cut the rubber radiator hose about an inch+ and reconnect. I did not cut mine and it's tight...but it fit between that hose and the pullies.

The BMR rs-001 is a great piece for any engine bay. Looks great and fits well.

+1 for lt1 support, If you get a used one and your state cares about emissions take the stickers off that have the wrong year on them, F'n smog state

I have one of those on the way from you Bob! Thanks for the quick drop-ship BTW. I also suggest the BMR piece, mainly because of the way it enhances the engine bay!
