Is it bad to cover the lower grile openings with a front plate?
Just making sure, I wanted to run this front euro plate off of another car of mine. Seeing as I don't have holes in my front bumper I wanted to keep it that way.
IE:
Is this too limiting to the front damns airflow? Or am I just being a worried wart?

Can't see the problem with having holes in your front bumper. You will not see them & the plate will be in the correct place.
Either way I cannot see that it will alter to much the air flow to the a/c condenser & radiator if it is lower.
Just monitor the temp guage on a hot days for a while.
I have flywire covering my vents ( insects) which would impede airflow to some degree but it does not affect engine temp.
