Default Coastal Metal Grill & Temperature: Was this parameter considered?

I know the radiator protection is great, but how many bugs can I collect before the temperature becomes critical?

Man that looks bad. Poor bugs didn't have a chance. Didn't you try to avoid them???

Looks like you'll need a couple of toothpicks!

Auctually when we did the testing on the grills, we made sure to clean off the grill. Those are some pretty big bugs though

Here is another story someone submitted last year.

A Story about the purpose of the Front Grill.

I recently drove 5981 Km's round trip from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada to
Elkhart Lake, Wis for the Historic car races. I have attached a picture
of what your grill saved from hitting my rad. This sight was a daily
occurance and I cannot imagine what my rad would look like if I had not
had your grill.
THANK YOU.
Please feel free to use the picture on your site or any where else you
like.

I wonder what the condenser and readiator would have looked like without the grill


Thanks For the Testamonial Warren

Regards,
David McCune Jr.

On a quasi related item is Coastal Metal's website having problems. I have tried to go there using the link provided at this site and typing in their address directly. I have been getting the infamous website not available message. Or if someone could post a phone number/address that would help to.

Thanks.
