Bent Oil Cooler Fins...
So I have a few bent oil cooler fins. One specific location where a rock caused a significant dent. I was curious as to whether I should look into replacing these or not. I called the dealer and I was quoted $800 for each side for parts alone. Now I have the RB screens on order and I should have them by the weekend. Just curious to what the experts think on whether I need to get them replaced or not, and the dangers I may run into if I do not.

before you install those RB screens, you can try to use a wood popsicle stick or a toothpick to try to carefully straighten the fins
the coolers are pretty tough overall, just don't tailgate giant semi's or trucks too closely lol

The body shop tech I talked to about the fins said that there is a special comb they use to fix the fins before they apply paint.
You can search out the comb or get a body shop to do it.

You can get a fin comb from places that sell air conditioning and refrigeration supplies, like Grainger:

You need to use one with the right pitch.
