997.1 C2S with GT3 front bumper and 3rd radiator kit?
I'm tracking my C2S now so I think it makes sense to install the 3rd radiator. But I have the GT3 front bumper. Anybody been in a similar situation? Any problems?
-Should I get the C2S 3rd radiator kit or the GT3 one (lots more expensive)? GT3 radiator is angled to exhaust up and the GT3 bumper has the cutout for that. The C2S radiator exhausts below.
-Should I paint the 3rd radiator black and what should I use to do that?
Thanks for any advice.

Never paint a radiator. It defeats the purpose. You need exposed metal do dissipate heat.
Choose the radiator kit that fits your model 997 unless you replaced the front rads with GT3 rads when changing your front fascia. In this case you will need the 997.1 rad kit all else being the same. You may need to trim the GT3 rad duct work if you replaced the ducts when changing out the fascia (which should have been done). However, the rad and tubing may fit the ducts just fine. Just don't be surprised if it doesn't.
