I would hate drilling the front bumper. However, if you place the plate in front of the grill won't that block front airflow?

I checked out the service manual for the cooling system and it discusses specifically about reduced or blockage of air flow and overheating...

I don't know too much about cars, but I would think this is a pretty important thing to consider for cooling.

Thoughts?

 

Lots of people here have used the Zee Bracket, but I've never heard any complaints of over-heating. I'd imagine the plate doesn't cause enough of a restriction to reduce the efficiency of the radiator, especially at speed.

But I wonder if using something like the Zee bracket could reduce the effectiveness of a front mounted intercooler?.....

 

the radiator should be robust enought to handle the slight lost of air flow. (unless you aggravate the problem by installing turbos).....

 

On a side note, anyone know what those two square plastic plates are that go on the outer sides of the grill?? They are connected by two plastic pop-screws on each plate.

Anyone know what they are for??
