Default Radiator Colling Panel. .GiMic?? Or works?

I wanted to get a radiator cooling panel but my Z is always right below center on the WT needle. .making me think if i get the panel it might take the normal op temp too low and the z might perform worse. . .any idea?

If you look on the under side of your hood you will see a black seal that keeps all the air in that area. The shield is only for looks.

realisticly, it will not affect all that much, maybe if you were on the autobahn and constantly went 150+mph, but realisticly, you won't.

adds a nice bling factor though.

Good call. I know some people who buy the ARC cooling plate which cost near 200 shipped. Looks nice though.
