Are the slots wide enough so air can get thru? Do you think there would be a problem of the engine over heating?

These grills have better cooling than the stock grill. The stock grill is solid and dosen't let air through, this one does. The billet grill replaces the stock grill.

Munch, those look great! Do you know if they come in black and could you tell me where you got them from?

Congrats on one damn sophisticated box! :D

unfortunately, thats not true, the billet grille makes the engine run hotter cuz it lets all the air into the engine bay thru the grille and actually creates pressure in the engine bay, thus not lettin the air enter in through the radiator as it was designed to do. The billet grille that comes with the hot lava has a peice of plastic behind it to block the airflow for this very reason.

Well according to my digital temp gauge my car runs 10 degrees cooler than it did before the grill change. I go by numbers

Just to point out.
The radiator uses the 2 lower grill (on the bumper)
the stock upper grill doesnt let air thru becuz it is solid from behind

He's right. I was wondering if anyone knew if you can order only the bottom 2 cause i'll just order the top one from my parts dept.

I definitly love the look of that better.
