Default high temps

here in arizona temperatures are @ 110 and higher. my temp needle is points anywhere between m, a, l (normal) on the gauge. it's only had a coolant flush last may. any suggestions on what else to change? i was thinking of termostate and/or radiator.

specs on car...
98 convt auto, 121k miles bone stock

any help would be great

I would put in a lower temp t- stat, like a 160 degree.

well i mean if you get rid of the hood itll probably cool off alot faster... i dunno it was kind of a ricer response

and besides its white, thats the coolest (temp wise) color you can get on a car

but i guess a bigger radiator wouldnt hurt
