Does an aftermarket grill affect airflow?
A lower grill. Will it cut down on the amount of air that gets in? Is this a bad thing? Or will it not make a difference.
I'm thinking about getting one from a1grills on eBay. I know some people here have bought lower grills from him. How did you like it? Would you recommend it?

I am sure that it does affect the airflow to the radiator slighty. However, I wouldn't think it would be any where near enough restriction to be noticeable or to make the engine temp rise. In other words, no.

How does the one he sells attach to your car? Do you have to remove the stock lower grill?
You said it was easy to make one yourself... it's aluminum, right? Can you buy the material at home depot or something? I've heard some people say to use chicken wire or gutter guard but I don't think I want to do that.
It's not too heavy, is it?
Thanks guys,
