I've done three mods to unhappy VR owners in North Louisiana in the past couple months...

As it comes from China I personally believe it's an overpriced POS but people keep buying them...and I keep sealin' 'em up...

Good luck with yours.

Chris

Errrr...On the Z06, while sitting in front of the radiator cover, it's sucking nice cool air through the front vents.....
