Of every cooling mod that exist, this one is the most effective.

You haven't commented on ducting yet. Ducting. DUCTING!!! Do you have it? This would be sheets of metal/plastic/tape that seal the big hole in the front of the bumper to the radiator. That way any air that goes in the bumper can ONLY exit through the radiator.

Just bought 2 12" Spal puller fans (low profile) for $134 shipped
How the hell did I just buy 2 fans for the price of 1?

Pat, I'm honestly having difficulty distinguishing between the two linked pics.
I know that the second link is Spal site, but the pic on the first is either identical or pretty damn close to the latter.
Still, you know more than I about this, so, without me searching any further, what would be a good place to order from?
I've looked at Amazon, and couple of other sites, so, please, recommend your favorite.
Thanks!
(In the meantime, I've submitted the request to cancel the Ebay order).

This is where I bought my spal fans, and they are real spal fans: https://webstore.spalusa.com/
Google the PN of the fan you posted and find a real pic of it, and compare to ebay pic, and you'll note the differences I noted. They are different fans, not the same.
