I was not sure where to post this. I just wanted to know how "pitted" in your IC. Meaning dented fins and debri damaged. Pics. would be great. I would post mine but the damn server has been down for awhile.

I noticed mine getting a lot of dings in it already. Anyone recommened a better wire mesh? Does fin damage result in a loss of pressure, or is it mainly cosmetic?

Fin damage results in reduced cooling ability, tube damage can result in a loss of flow.

Mine is pretty well dinged. Lotsa freeway driving does it I guess. Wouldn't billet grill inserts look awesome and protect the IC? But alas no ones making those for the Evo.
