Default nakdboard's screen Mod

I wanted to protect the radiator and AC condenser so I rigged something up---I ran screen from behind the front bumper brace then under the radiator....(my best way to describe it.)

here are photos--
















The screen is held in place by the bumper plugs on top (can see in the picture) and the bottom is also by the bumper plugs on the bottom (3)

The bumper was a tight fit and I would leave a little more slack if I was to do it again.

I will have to see how this holds up.....this is on a MY04

I highly doubt it... possibly a tiny bit but not enough to move the temp gauge. I remember seeing a temp chart from Coastal Metals for their grills and even the full grill was a blip on the temp gauge.

Not nearly as much net air flow blockage as Heyitza's license plate

He doesn't seem to have any problem....
