    Where and how bad? Samewok is 100% correct, Spyderpops KOTT (Keep Out The Trash) Grilles are a HUGE help.

    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    Default RADIATOR DAMAGE

    My .02, are based on this .... I rarely take any of my Spyders in for DEALER service ..... But I did need some warranty work on my 2014 RT ...... because I had already removed my Frunk ( for Mods ) I knew my radiators were perfect - no damaged fins etc., after getting my Spyder back from the Dealer , I had to remove my Frunk ..... and guess what I found ... Yep damaged fins on both Radiators .......... imho, the only thing that could get past the OEM GRILLS is a rock that is soooooooo small ....fin damage is not possible ...... as far as bug bodies are concerned that's even less likely , how much do think a dead fly weighs ????? .......... That's my take on the subject ....... Mike

    there is a technique to using properly for best results .
    first off go slow. & be careful the fins can be sharp you won't just get a cut but maybe 10 or more all at same time, & all with nasty blades from road gunk & bug guts. Good luck share some before & after pics if you don't mind please.

    Default Radiator Fins

    The fins are Sharp. Depending on the type of damage, they can be straightened. There is a tool called a radiator 'fin tool/comb'. Your local NAPA auto parts store can help you with getting this tool.
