So I've had the Saleen Grill on my car for the last year and have had no issues with it functionally. I keep seeing the stock fogs on cars and miss that look. So, I'm putting the stock GT grill back on.
One of the biggest things I liked about the Saleen Grill is the straight thru design where the air in front of the car gets pushed (in theory) straight into the airbox feed. Almost like the idea of ram-air. But, this is very blocked by the factory grill's closed plastics and driver's side fog light. So, I am also looking for a mesh opening I can run if I decide to replace/delete the fog lights. Which I am on the fence about.
Has anyone really looked into this? Is there any benefit to the grill being fully open or does it create too much pressure that air really doesn't flow into that area like my brain would like to think it would. I don't want to replace all function for form. What are the thoughts of the community? This has to have been tested by this point...
