Some might already know but to those who dont this will be a heads up. I bought one of those Radiator air diversion panels off ebay thats suppose to be for a 96 to 98 S14, and when I got it and tried it on at work it fit but there was one major problem. the way the top part of the panel is designed wouldnt let the hood shut properly, now I have to cut half of it off just to make it usable and now it will only be half as useful. ahhh well you get what you pay for. the moral of the story watch out for these

If it's from ebay I would send it back to the seller. If the part was not correct I would demand a correct part or my money back. That's just me though.

I agree with ^ that guy, why would you cut it if it doesnt fit. If it doesnt fit then they must have sent you the wrong one. DUH>>>>> (op)

Then shouldn't you edit your post so that your not discrediting this part and the company. What a jerkoff, so, you couldnt figure out how to install your cooling plate, so you write a thread discrediting said piece, explaining that you had to cut it to fit, when you didnt have to cut it, and you havent righted your thread to show the change. You fail miserabley and kind of glad you dont have a camera because the picture would probably be shaky from your lack of nerves. Get your ish together kid.

Also, he didnt post any names so he actually is not discrediting anyone. he is warning us to be cautious of ebay items.

O and I hope in four years I'll be as big and as grown up as you. Your soooooo cool. Old man, shouldnt you be getting married or something, I mean your so old, wouldnt wanna miss out on anything before you get grey u know. Better stop hangin on the interweb and start getting your life together before one day you wake up and your 33, old and grey and gonna die. I dont consider myself a kid, and I am more mature than some of my 30 year old friends that all they wanna do is drink all the time, and make stupid gay jokes. Seems to me that the older some guys get, the dumber they get. Or I suppose it could be the environment growing too fast for your old brain to compute. But, like I said, I dont consider myself a kid, owning a home, small business and more assets then some, I have been working on cars since I was 14, and been racing cars, on real race tracks, all over the country, since I was 17 (skip barber racing school, at 17, 19, 21, 24, and since been racing on my own, skip barber isnt cheap, especially when your paying a mortgage. Say what you will.

No thanks, wouldnt wanna take food from your mouth. Plus your parents probably wouldnt be too happy that your offering they're cookies that they spend their hard earned money on to people on the interweb. That awfully disrespectful to your parents, I must say. Tisk tisk.

Hey, if thats true than I apologize. Not for nothin, and no offense, but hope it is true because its even more disrespectful to say they arent alive if they are. But if they have passed I do apologize, wasnt aware, how could I be.
