Default lower front grill on an ek

if I were to cover the lower front grill on my EK with the screen from a screen door would there still be enough airflow through it for the radiator and the condensor for the AC? what do you guys think?

bugs are going to get crunched into the tiny holes of the screen and that dosent seem like it would be fun to clean.

To answer your question take a fan to a screened in porch and blow through while you stand on the opposite side and see how much it restricts.

ok I agree just using the screen alone would look hideous however I am thinking about doing some custom work to the front end and part of it would pretty much require it but of course I would need airflow to the radiator so I could still drive it.

also I would be doing this to a second bumper that would only go on for a show definitely not a DD thing
