Chances are that your cooling system is perfectly sufficient for your current setup. If it isn't there are other cooling upgrades that will have a more significant impact that this part. Either way, it's not terribly expensive and some people like the appearance that it provides. If I were going to perform a modification of similar cost, I'd probably pick up or construct an earthing kit instead.

Unless you have a ridiculously cool track car, then it's not likely to be a worthwhile upgrade.
Do you have cooling issues from oil getting too hot heading to the grocery store? If not, then don't get it.

Agreed.
That $70 could be put towards an upgraded radiator or fan if you were running into cooling problems that were radiator/fan related.

^^ X2, just looks. Invest in somehtng more worthwhile if you are having issues, such as a better fan, aluminum rad, or even aftermarket engine coolant (cant remember names off hand)

Re: (instrument)
not worth it, save that 70 on something useful man. Lots of junk out there because its just marketable.
I have one, I did not buy it. I got the weksos one new for free, through a purchase of parts from a cool seller. I could not believe this was $70-80+.
I really dont see the function of this besides placing a cover over the ugly can-sprayed radiator part. It would look much better if i can have it over on top the front bumper where it hinges off of, instead of having the plate inserted between the rad support and the bumper.

Im a noob... what is QFT?
If I were ever to purchase a "cooling plate" it would be to take it to an engineer at my work and have him CAD a similiar design so that I could send it to our machine shop and produce a handful of them for myself and friends.
