Cliffs notes: Basically, like Chunky quoted, is it keeps all the airflow going INTO the radiator, instead of over it.

exactly, how many cars have never had a problem cooling without this plate. I doubt that if you were to have a cooling problem that just the addition of this plate will make all the difference.

Its just bling.

 

yea im thinking BS too, air doesnt go over the top of the radiator after all the hood is right there..

I think its more "bling" then function.

But the hood doesnt sit right on top of the radiator. It is an effective piece.

Example. My engine bay:



When I removed the grille/radiator shroud, when summer hit, my car ran a little warmer than normal.
