Yep after looking at mine it's the radiator LOL , funny you never see those things unless looking right at it. An unrelated subject, this damn chevy Cobalt rental they put me got more gadgets than my 40,000 cts, the pressure monitors are accesible from a button on the steering wheel, it shows actual psi per tire, so front tires beleive or not said 60 psi, rears 55, I'm like this can't be right so being it's 25 degrees out all day I drove 30 mins and checked with my $80 gauge that is the most accurate one i ever saw, sure enough, exactly what the idiot gauges said, so i let out to 39 cause max was 44 on tire, went for drive sure enough 39 all 4, that is unreal that cheap car has such a good system.

To answer the fog lights they are 3.5" piaa fog lights to mount them I just measured around the housing and cut the grille out they are mounted using two screws&the supplied brackets to the top of the grille pretty tight fit but overall pretty unique imo. I haven't hooked them up but I plan on buying a factory switch w/fog light option and wire it that way instead of just mounting a switch which looks tacky, I also plan on tinting them I may go red/yellow or just dark not sure yet. Thanks for the props
To 6+6 I'm jealous about your brembos I'm working on picking up a set of stock 2010 gt500 takeoffs myself

yeah sometimes the worst that happens can have it's up side too, thanks . they tell me 1st week january, the new rear axle looks nothing like old, almost appears stainless, got to get a pic too. can't wait get back, that chevy cobalt killing me but learned a lot about tire pressure driving it cause it's accurate monitors.....25 out this morning, 39 lbs in all 4, after driving 30 miles 42 lbs...then was 41 out when came home, sun hitting tires made pressure 40 when started, after 30 miles 44, so now got pretty good idea what put in stang tires so not to over inflate, figure if drive stang 10 mins. set pressure at 36 in all 4 most they might get to is 42.
