^ 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!!!!

you need a GT4 front bumper as well as the hood, along with the RHD hood latch or you will run into problems.

you dont want the RHD latch. the cable exits on the wrong side.
you want the LHD hood latch, or modify your existing latch by extending it 1".
