Front Plates on the 370z

TongMan · 07-17-2010, 06:41 AM

I'm curious to know that since the plate is covering a majority of the grille opening, wouldn't that restrict air flow to the radiator?

when i bought mine new told dealer to leave off the front bracket and all.
hell they had already put there stupid decal underneath the rear spoiler.

so anyway car looks a lot cooler imo then with it stuck on there.
but it is not legal here. been 3 months so far no issues.

The tow hock is mounted off center on passenger side and the plated screws into it. Still plenty of air flow for radiator and also the power steering cooler.
When I add an oil cooler it mounts on the driver's side.
