a question of aftermarket radiators

so a buddy of mine stops by the house on tuesday and shows off his EK build. not too shabby! but what got me going was his aluminum radiator (A-spec). who makes aftermarket rads for fits? I was seriously considering Mishimoto but now that im in the market, it appears they dont carry the fit in their lineup. who else? also, which one of you freaksters has it and do you got pics? thanks all.

I have seen them advertised for the Fit but can't remember where..... I am running a Kraft Werks super charger with 5 PSI boost and have had great results in lowering the under hood and intake temperatures by using Run Cool Hood Louvers.... Though I never had any overheating problems that caused the radiator to boil over there has been a big increase in power and lower interior temperature with the A/C on since I installed them.

thats interesting, I really never had a issue with the stock rad, just that the aluminum rad looks really tight! I checked on Koyo rads and nope...no fit~!

pwr has one for the fit, arc has one, j's racing has one, and i believe spoon has one, but pwr is the most affordable one. That's the one that was on the kraftwerks fit

I can bet a company like Mishimoto would be coming out with one for the fits. I have been waiting for a while, too!
