you are missing the aero lip so im guessing you dont have the under tray that attaches to it, and your bumper is pretty scuffed up

I dont really mind the scruffed up part. I didnt buy it to be a show car. Send me a link to where I can find an aero lip and undertray please?

Check out Mazmart, a vendor here. Good prices and awesome service.

The undertray is quite essential for keeeping the air flowing through the radiator. As long as you're not operating in too high tempratures, you should be fine. Just don't unleash the beast until you get that undertray!

Yes, the car is all the same color. And the hood pins are one of my favorite parts, they are unique.

I haven't noticed any difference, my heat level stays a few ticks under half way pretty much 100% of the time, but I will be getting one none the less. I think the previous owner took it off because it does look different, and it almost seems like the radiator gets way more air to it.

I can promise you the radiator does not get more air to it without the undertray. You need as much positive pressure in front of the radiator as possible to direct as much air through it as possible. That is the purpose of the undertray. Also, the temp gauge is absolutely useless. It does not move until the engine is already destroyed.
