Message It's on coupes that you see all the photos and such. On the 2+2 we have different brackets on the bottom, different on the top, a slightly different fan srhoud which isn't as easy to trim as the coupe (needs more taken off), etc. For the same rough cost you can get one that is MADE to fit your car and be just about as thick (and single core which is better for radiators...if you want the longwinded physics/etc speech on the cooling/reheating effect I can email you).

So I say go find a good radiator shop and ask them about getting one. These shops and the shops they use frequently have much bigger versions with oem style brackets and end tanks for fairly cheap. The only loss is that you don't get the shiny end tanks :)

I could care since it'd end up costing me twice as much to get that Howe in there, weld the pipe, make brackets, etc.
