Modshack,
I had the mod done last week while installing the oil cooler while the bumper was off. Since I tracked the car for a day with both mods, i couldn't measure the "gains" but i am pretty sure that your DIY helped to reduce the engine bay at WOT speed. Great addition! Question for those who did this mod: - I notice some "strange" outside temp on the console (showing more than the actual outside temp was). Did anyone notice this or did my mechanic damaged the outside air temp sensor  Phil.
