Anyone have an opinion on whether these would be more/same/less restrictive than stock, and whether that could possibly lead to higher/lower underhood temps, IATs, etc.? Or should it not matter? If it wouldn't have a noticeable effect, I may get these; I also like the look, and it further differentiates it from the Minivan grill.
I'd also like to seem some full-body shots (45 degree angle) with the grill.

I've had that grille for over three years and it definitely allows more air flow and lower engine temps because the bottom grilles are actually completely open unlike the plastic stock inserts. Plus it's easier to clean.

Thanks Jim for posting the pics. I think I am getting the hang of photobucket. You can get the upper and lower grills at billet grill grilles . My only issue was a lack of instructions which for the upper grill was no big deal but on the lowers as you can see in the pics they are moved to the front of the bumper not recessed and this requires you to drill mounting holes in the divider and you screw the ends to the bumper. I was given the polished grills for the price of the non polished which saved close to a hundred dollars. They are not light together I think it all weighed about 17lb's but boy are they built heavy duty I bet I could hit a brick at 80 and it would just bounce off the grill. I placed my order by phone and Joy did a good job. Tomorrow I am getting a 3m clear bra installed.
It sucks that you had to drill into the bumper, but I went back and looked at the pics again, and....... The lowers look sweet pushed out to the front like that. I am definitely putting these on my wish list which is getting bigger once again. LOL
XRAY, I think the new grill looks great! It is a very clean look. Is the clear bra the product that Jason from Buckhead told us about in Atlanta or something else?
Hey XRAY. I noticed in your listed mods that you have the dual Needswings CAI. Does this grill have total clearance from rubbing the dual air filters? Any difficulties getting your hand to the hood release? Looks Good..Thanks...Squirrel Crusher

This grill gives a lot more room for the air filters I can now put the extremes on with room to spare. A little tight getting to hood release but not bad.

Hmm, not sure what to think yet. Fitment looks good though!
Billet grilles are what we were putting on our lowered sport trucks in the late 90's...i cant seem to get the image of a chevy truck out of my mind when i see that.

I have that grille on my white coupe. I really like how it pushes the front end a tad more. Looks great X. I saw a black Cross on Pilot **** here in Eagan, MN yesterday. Weather is nice but mine's still sleeping!!!
