dont know wether this is the right place to post this as its kind of a cross topic question.but here it is.

ive just had a greddy gracer lip installed, and i considering putting my licence plate at the bottom of the front grill. will this cause cooling/air flow issues? keeping in mind i have a aem v2 cai that sits of to the of the grill.
the plate is roughly 4"high x 12" wide

 

i used to mount my plate in the grill of my ap1. It took up about half the air space. Had it in there for a few months including a spirited drive through the desert and never saw any change in temp over having no plate.

 

did it look any good? where do you mount it know?
i got a black plate to go on a black car so mine will probably disapear. which is the plan.

 

Watch the video on the home page. Yeah, license plates affect cooling. But it doesn't matter unless you're on a track....in which case, remove it.

 

I have had the license mounted off the grill for most of the life of the car. Never had cooling issues. To track the car I remove the plate.

 

I have mine mounted like this:




It works, and I DD it in traffic and the Texas heat. It seems to run as cool as it did this winter. I am sure it increases the temps, but by how much I have no idea. Though not enough to light up another bar on the temp gauge. The hottest I have had heavy traffic (move a few feet, stop for a minute, rinse and repeat) It was 90 degrees.

It it causes problems with heat, I will relocate it again. BTW, I know its not sitting perfect in he pics. I have readjusted it since I took those pics.

 

hey operator207 dont they do skinny plates in the states. cause no offence but that thing is ugly.
u should at least take that black trim off the plate , it might make it look a little smaller

also i feel for u my berlina black brother.
hardest paint job in the world to look after.

 

Toss your front plate or hang it on your fav wall.

 

yeh i wish. wouldnt last five minuets without a plate down here.
stating the obvious now, but cops are right arseholes.
