I've had my grill done up like this for 6-7 years now. It finally started to crack and the chrome was pealing, just looked bad...
So I picked up one off CL that I thought was perfect, its not, and a chinese knock off, but I figured it would work for a while so I painted it up. Adding the mesh takes time so I didnt bother.
Installed it before I went home last weekend...
Here is the interesting part...
Water and Oil temps dropped about 4*-7*... I would not have thought that a little mesh would effect oil and water temps that much, but its quite clear it did!
