I just installed a nice mesh grille behind the teeth of my 95 GT bumper, and it looks pretty hot...black with a small hole design. However, I am wondering if you think these things restrict air flow a lot, or is it negligible (i.e. not noticeable). I don't want to rob any horsepower from my already under powered car! This may sound silly, but just came to my mind. smile.gif

I just drove my car HARD with the grill on and I guess I am crazy...did not really notice a loss in power. The holes just as big as any grill. This one is made in Germany by Folia Tec...very nice...pics to come.
