Default Advantages of tilting radiator???

I have seen a lot of civics and crx's lately with the radiators tilted back towards the block. Any advantage to this other than more airflow into the engine bay? Also, what was the purpose in doing this? I know that a lot of cars that i have seen with after market traction bars/crossmembers have done this.

I would but, I'm sure it cost's alot more than $30(thats what I paid for this one). I'm on a budget build right now so apperance and cleanliness will come in the future Thanks for the heads up though.
