Installing HE
Installing the Fabtech HE. Does it matter what coolant I fill it back up with? Or does it not matter? Thanks for you help.

in the summer you can just have distilled water but because winter is cold where you are ,use 80% distilled water and 20% antifreeze

Overall the install was pretty easy. The hardest part was the bumper removal and install. The Fabtech HE is definitely a quality piece. Here are the pics of the final product.

How wide is the opening with the 63 bumper? Is the FabTech he as wide as the EC he?

He lives in an area that gets really cold during the winter, so he needs some antifreeze
So 80% distilled water 20% antifreeze

In the summer he can do 100% distilled water with a bottle of water wetter

If only black spray paint you can use paint thinner to take it off.
If its paint go to finish master and they have this solution that's takes paint right off then you use some polish to shine it up. I can help you do it.

That's not bad idea to paint it silver. But will it shine like chrome
