Default question about new front bumper and engine overheating

i bought the skyline body kit from extreme deminsions and while we were fitting the back bumper to the car, me and my dad got to wondering if the engine would overheat cause the new bumper does not have the top grill like the stock bumper. does anyone know if it will overheat or will the bottom grill be enough to keep it cool?

You know I don't think it really matters.

I drove from northeast coast Florida to northern California during the summer in 4 days. I had to pass through a lot of hot and humid weather while going an average of 80mph and I'm sure that air didn't do a thing to cool the engine.

Didn't have a single problem with the xB's Toyota engine.

as you drive, the air coming in does help with cooling.. if the kit doesn't push the air towards your radiator you'll probably notice that your fans will run more than usual... but if it does then you'll probably notice better cooling and less fan action..
