Default Dewitts - best price?

I have a Dewitts in my garage which has been in storage for the Z06 project. I have not pulled it out to verify the model number, but I know it is one with multiple cooler attachments.

With the car now going into twin turbo direction I want to maximize cooling since I will have to sandwich the intercooler with the radiator and condenser.

Therefore, I want to get a new 01-04 Cut-down 'no cooler' model. Dewitts themselves are running a 12% off / zero shipping deal currently which seems great. I am waiting on a quote from them to verify. While I wait I thought I'd see if y'all know anyone who carries them who might have a better deal. Seems hard to beat.

As soon as I can dig the existing radiator from it's safe storage I'll be posting that in the For Sale section.

It's probably going to be hard to beat the direct from DeWitts price. The only way you can probably get it cheaper is buying from a forum member.

I'd pay attention to their website and or forum posts. Most likely they will have a Christmas or New Year sale for 10% off

12% looks like the best deal at present and is very approachable. I'd have already pulled the trigger, just waiting on the black ice quote.

Do you get the free samples or the family discount with your last name?

it's probably not going to get any better than that. And no, no free stuff for me.

Evil minds think alike.

I pulled the trigger earlier today. Delivery will be a few weeks out but I'm in zero rush off-season.

Nice fans! I have a used pair waiting to go on the car.

Keep me in mind for when you find that old on in your shed.

The prior one was sold locally I'm afraid.

The new one came in with a very professionally applied black ice coating. I am putting it next to the tree with a tag "From Santa" along with some AP calipers.
