radiator questions... The hard plastic plate that bolts to the radiator support and goes over the radiator to hold it down is cracked. I've seen here a few cars that seem to have an aftermarket metal version of it. Who makes it?
Part 2 here: http://shbox.com/1/radiator_mounting.jpg
ALSO:
My car is running much more consistently at a good temperature since I've installed the Be Cool radiator. BUT, the temperature goes up a bit when at highway speed. It goes back down when I get off the highway. I have all the air damm components installed. What's going on?

As for the temp, it should not be moving much at all, you have an air pocket somewhere. Put the car on jack stands, make the radiator the highest point and run the car with the heater on and using the 2 bleeder screws get the air out.
Otherwise something else is failing. I had a similar temp issue, turned out to be the radiator and if you have a new one, id suggest looking at a proper bleeding.
