techs21 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 So I purchased the Gimmick Motorsports Radiator and after installing it on my 06 LGT 5eat, I noticed that the whole top portion of it does not match up like my factory one did. Anyone else have this happen to them with this specific brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostedgrocerygetter Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Pictures would be very helpful in understanding what you mean by it not matching up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techs21 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Sorry about that here is a picture with the radiator in my car and one with it up against the factory radiator. I also noticed that the nub on that factory one is missing from the aftermarket one. Thanks for any and all advise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Cheap parts are cheap parts. They often have shi# fitment. Check out the morimoto, Koyo radiators for aftermarket solutions with good fitment. Or just go back to stock if you are lightly modified/stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostedgrocerygetter Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Are you sure they sent you the right radiator. That could be one for an 08+ impreza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgtvf52 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I have a mishimoto aluminum radiator and the fitment was spot on! Might want to look into them Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
