Default Dents in front radiators due to stones

No matter how hard I've tried, the two small radiators in front have gotten hit with stones. The radiators are now piited due to stones from other cars. I used to have a lotus esprit, so I do back off when trucks of any size are in front of me. Is anyone experiencing this problem? The radiators are at an angle so at first I thought it wasn't going to be an issue. By the way does anyone know how much the radiators cost?

If you have a Tip, X51 or a GT3, you get one more radiator to deal with, right in the middle.

thats the ac condensor, and you would need some serious serios damage to casue and noticible negative effects, dont worry about ittill you ac stops working

The right radiator runs nearly $300.

Where's the a/c condensor? I thought left and right side were for the coolant.
