    Is there any functional difference between the motor mounts in the SE and GT? I noticed the front mounts on the SE hook over the front of the frame, while the GT is simply bolted to the top and almost looks incomplete. I kind of like the look of the SE mounts better and was considering swapping. Any thoughts?

    I think some years were different not the trim level. I have a buddy with that same style wrap around mount on his 97 gtp. I would guess the would be swappable though you may have to fine tune the holes in the support a bit

    Yep, that's exactly what I'm talking about.My old car was an SE that gave out on me, now I have a GT- both are 2003. The GT's previous owner and the dealer I bought it from 'lost' a few parts so I've been picking scraps. I thought the mounts on the SE looked better but wanted to be sure there wasn't a reason for the difference before I swapped them. Plus I just flipped the mounts on my GT

    Anyone know if the radiator and fans are interchangeable between the SE 3100 and the GT 3800?

    I'm more concerned with the fans at the moment, as the ones in my GT look funky and asymmetrical, while the SE fans are in good condition. However, I did notice some dents in the front of my GT's radiator fins, if it's too bad I might swap with the SE - that one is brand new.

    I haven't messed with a 3100 gp in a while but you should just be able to use the fans off the 3800. The rad should be the same. How can you see the rad? The condenser is in front of the radiator.

    Looking underneath. Barely a glimpse so I'm hoping it's just a bad spot.
    Condenser doesn't look so great though.
