because they used a clear coat on the radiators to get them to shine like they did. The fluid stained the clear coat and I shouldn't have to take it down to the aluminum and polish it. This is not my fault and I am not going to spen 10 hours stripping it, prepping, polishing and clearing it again.

So, was the second batch OK? Or were both batches tainted by poor craftmanship?

I think I got one from the second batch. I had no trouble with the fan shroud fit, and the rad cap fit ok too, after human stupidity was isolated (read: I left the cap from the bottle of coolant in a place that caused the hood to not close properly and didn't notice at first).
The only thing that was a tight fit were the pins on top for the mounting brackets. A little muscle got them to fit, no drilling or any other nonsense.
