Thank u sir! The same little rocks will get through the stock grill slits as they do w/o it. If you run into large pieces of wood, rubber, animals , etc.. it could be a problem though.

Just means I can buy a better radiator. Lol. But I don't really see it mattering to much.

To protect the rad, you could add some universal mesh:

It's not going to be the end all, but it will protect it better than having it completely bare.

The Z without the fangs at least needs to pit a screen in there. It just looks unfinished.

thanks, I think the front bumper needs the fangs as support, plus it looks better w/ them.

That was a custom modified stock front fascia fitted with a GTM TT Kit. It was that body shop's first attempt to modify a 370Z fascia. Leveling the intercooler in relation to the fascia would have been impossible unless you started cutting up the intercooler, altered piping and started changing out couplers.

The issue you see with the bottom two~three rows is an issue with the fascia, NOT the GTM Intercooler kit.

I painted all the plastic including the thin plastic strip above the grill opening. Makes everything look legit. Depending on where you drive and what kind of roads your on, goes hand in hand with the risk imo.

only recent pic I have.
