none whatsoever - pulled one end and it basically fell out. Can't believe it stayed in so long

Just checked. I didn't get one of those.

Do any of you have Kentucky TCHs, or is this a Japan car issue?

abward: I have a Kentucky TCH and while the foam is there, it seems to be well attached so far. I am going to keep an eye on it though after the burning experience.

Both my jpn '07 tch and ky '07 xle-v6 have the foam filler above the radiator. Both seem well attached. I wonder if I drove 100 mph if it would come loose?

I just went and pulled mine out. It was barely hanging on....after I ripped it out, I got to thinking ....what if this foam is there to block crap from that scoopy vent thing right there on the front of the engine. I'll probably suck in a duck or something. That'll KILL my FE!
