If you ask me an aluminum rad is a waste of money. But I guess if you have a lot of money to spend in this sh*tty economy then it doesnt matter, because you could always live and eat inside your car when you dont have enough money to pay your rent. You asked a question on here, dont expect to get the same answer from everybody. Most of the people on here are all about cost vs performance. Most people on here are simple, there are some who go the extra miles to perfect their cars, BUT you have to understand that there are far far far too many idiots who ask dumb questions and whenever someone NEW on here asks about something, its most likely been talked about in another forum. So do your re-search before asking your questions, because people on here are tired of pointless and re-peat threads. Have a nice day
