Aluminum radiator

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-00...ht_4031wt_1165


would this serve any purpose other than looking cooler?? would it have any difference on engine temps, fuel efficiency, or performance? OR would buying it basically just be paying to have a shiny radiator?

i thought we had aluminum radiators along with our aluminum engines already....but i may be mistaken. if we don't have aluminum radiators, i'd do a little simple chem research and find out if aluminum is a better conductor of heat than w/e the original material is. but the cooling system is designed to work idling in traffic when it's 100F+ outside and the A/C is running....so unless you've added something that will increase engine heat output (didn't see anything as such on your mod list) probably not worth it IMVVHO (very very humble)
