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.

depends how small the holes are..otherwise it wont affect anything, it will help with anything getting inside.

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.

I guess the extra vent between the headlights help as well. -------------------- 98 ST204 ZR - Black Beauty - Roaming the streets of Sydney 73 TA22 LT - Tiffany Blue - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 75 TA22 LT - Snow White - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 77 RA28 LT - Flubber Green - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 94 MX-5 NA8 Clubman - Red Racer - Looking for corners WIP Project: 69 RT40 Corona, 2nd WIP Project: 66 RT40 1600s Corona 86 Corona RT142 - Daily Driver 6GC 4 Life Baby!!! |
