I'd hypothesize that the stock ones would cool better than the panel. Reason being Is, there Is now more volume of air going up to the panel, before It's redirected to the Radiator, respectively. As opposed to the stockers ones. The air follows a linear direction. Rather than an up and back fashion. Again, just hypothesizing.

I think that is purely cosmetic. It would cover up everything in front of the radiator, which is just that bumper support, the water tank for overflow, the hood latch assembly, etc. It would really clean things up, but I doubt if it has any function what so ever.

they are purely cosmetic, unless you're missing a lot of crap infront of the rad. they wouldn't deacrase functionality in anyway since only about 1/4 of the air that hits the rad. actually goes through it.

Personally I think those panels are ugly because of all those holes you need in them for everything to work properly. I certainly wouldn't pay money for one. And why is no-one crying "rice" over cosmtic carbon fibre? I think it's tacky...
