Awhile back I purchased a remote cooling fan switch from these folks and it worked like a champ. A few weeks ago, at their cost and no request from me, they sent me a modified replacement, the V2, that operates both fans simutaniously at either slow speed or fast, depending on the installation. I was very happy with the first one and this new model is just plain awesome. When in heavy traffic and my engine temp gets to about 200 I switch the fans on and it doesn't go any higher and actually cools it off a little. Not to often, if ever, you find a manufacturer and vendor who will pass on updated products to it's customers without the customer requesting it. This is a first for me and I just want to thank them very, very much for a superb product and amazing service.

Thanks, Christian!

Unfortunately...I continue to bang mine just about once a month. I crawled under there the other day and they still look amazing.

My vette isn't my daily driver, so I guess that's why I can't seem to figure out how far out there the front is.

See my product review posted on October 17. I have Fangs installed on two C5s and one C6. They are great.

Hi dougbfresh,
The Cool It v2/v3 is just another way to have some control of your cooling fans. It’s an alternative to taking your C5 to a shop and paying for them to tap into your computer and resetting the fan on/off temps. The Cool It v2/v3 works well in traffic, at the drags, if you’re in a parade. It will even help keep your automatic trans cool.
Here is a link with more info.

I ordered the fangs on sunday, just got them today! blazing fast shipping. granted, sac town is only 80 or so miles away. I didn't expect to get them until tomorrow. either way, cant install until my day off on friday.
cant wait to install them as I lowered my car and get that horrible grinding noise when driving over dips and such.
