I was putting a "T" in the heat exchanger inlet hose so I could add a fluid cooler in parallel with it, which I did. I guess I expected the temperature guage to read lower after the install but its not, so I haven't bothered sharing any pics with you guys. Maybe I'm just disappointed.

But yeah, I bent down the plastic piece to give me more elbow room. I didn't quite put it back how it should've been, didn't seem important as I was planning to get back under there after a test drive. When I went for a drive, someway, somehow, the plastic piece touch the road and tore off from the rest of the plastic piece, so I'm missing that corner bottom piece, but still have the part that wraps up around the tire.

Its possible the wind bent it down while driving...
