hot front fenders after driving

corpsedub · 04-20-2006, 08:30 AM

i dont know if this is normal(is not on any of my other cars) but i wanted to get some input from the rest of you. after normal freeway driving for 45 minuites the front fenders are really hot around the hood. burning hot, not just warm(like a normal car). im wondering if the radiator supports are transfering heat from the radiator to the fenders. can anyone comment on this or have you noticed something similar.

i noticed the car is always warm after driving just because the engine does get hot and heat radiates out to everywhere. If its burning hot and you cant even touch it then maybe there is a problem.
