    Default Greddy Radiator Plate

    WOW what a way to waste $60 bucks. Where do i begin

    For one, its in 2 pieces, so theres a giant overlap in the dead center of the car. Cmon they cant design it to be once piece? Give me a break.

    Then for the kicker. With the plate installed on my 2006, you cant put the hood prop back down. When you do, you put a beautiful dent into the aluminum from the plastic pressing into it.


    2 pieces, cant put the hood prop down. Save your money and get something else. This is a complete pile of ****

    Carefully look at how the hood, upper radiator mount, and the cavity in front of the radiator are setup. You will notice that it is pretty much sealed, by design, to channel maximum airflow thru the radiator. So yes, you did waste your money on bling.

    To add to this, the Greddy front strut bar was ill-concieved as well. The mounting plates won't fit flush because of the design of the tC's upper strut mounts (towers). Greddy ingeniously provides you with 1/2" spacers to overcome this. Problem for Greddy is that this also overcomes the length of the upper strut attachment bolts. 2 threads on a nut are definately not safe on a suspension!!!! I had to modify it to work correctly.

    Way to go Greddy!!! I aso find their Greddy Ultimate E-Manage not well-engineered. 3 strikes, you're out of here!!!Take my advice and stay away from over-priced brand names that offer poorly designed products.
