I bought the entire fan conversion from them, and I am completely disappointed. The "controller" never kicked on to start the fans. Then I hardwired all 3 fans to be on all the time while the engine is running, and they couldn't even keep the engine cool at idle, let alone trying to drive around. I have a new radiator, thermostat, water pump, and head gasket, so the only thing letting it get hot was the insufficient fans.
I like the custom shroud the kit came with, but the rivers popped out easily which I replaced with small bolts, and it needed a lot of trimming to fit around the core support, radiator hoses, A/C lines, and front bulkhead.
I would suggest buying the shroud, replacing the rivets, finding your own fans that have a sufficient CFM rating, and definitely find a different controller method
