Do you have a radiator problem.

Mine looks like crap. I have been out of the city twice, and it looks like its been through a war zone. I think they forgot to install a protective barrier in front of the rad fins. All other 09 escapes I look at seem to have a black rad fins (instead of my silver) that don't look all dented from bugs and stuff.

Mine is straight to the silver color aluminum, and looks awful, covered with deep dents, very embarrassing. I have never seen a front of car like this. Looks like leprosy.

This is cosmetic and/or will lead to radiator destruction (fins soft as butter).

Does anybody have this silver rad that is set back and covered with dents just from bugs.

All escapes I have looked at have black fins, and dents not visible,
