Radiator support / skid plate
Following my off at the last hillclimb, the radiator support is junk as you can see below:
I am planning on removing the AC (so the condenser will go) and replacing the radiator that is bent for something with an engine oil cooler. (Note that the car is a dedicated race car).
Now the question is should I just put a new stock radiator support or is there something better out there? Any radiators requiring a different support?
Also while I am at it, any other upgrade I should think of for air intake, air dam, etc...? Note that I have to repair or replace the front bumper too, so any mod is doable at this point.

there have been a few threads on this. it allows better cooling, less lift and moves the radiator into a better protected position
