Hey I asked something like this a while back, now my plates are in and I would like to know if the plate is placed on the lower grill will it block anything important?

I am assuming that it is the intercooler behind the grill, if I am wrong correct me please. Thanks

 

Thought that was the tranny cooler behind there...

I may be doing the same thing if my truck doesnt pass safety inspection out here in St. Louis... st00pid front plate law...

 

Thats the intercooler.......the tranny cooler is behind the crack between the bumper and the grill.

 

So since its the intercooler, will it hurt anything if the plate is down there? Would to much air be blocked?

 

What about drilling as many small holes through the plate as you can to provide some airflow? Might not look too pretty, but it might be a good compromise.

You can always run it this way on the street, and then remove it for track use.

Just a thought....

 

I analized that problem to death.
I even considerd making a bracket to come up from underneath and to one side.
Ended up putting it on the front bumper with two aluminum tech screws. ( almost cried) But you get used to it.

I hate that law also, but it is better to play the game by there rules and avoid a reason to get pulled over by the law.
