I think I'm going to turn my ZL1 into a ZL/28

I was thinking about this and waiting to see pics. Now I'm convinced I'm doing once mine is delevered!

It looks great , Mike 535 did a awesome job , love that screen type where mesh
Just incase something want to get in there
It can also be done differently with strait horizontal fine lines , or using the where mesh design but in stainless steel etc , just for those (primadonas ) that do not want another car like theirs , and it's all good in my book

Mike535...that does look good. The only way it could look better is if your car was black. JK

I looked at mine again today after driving the car around a little...I still like it but if I wanted a more finished look I would go the route you took.

Did you noticed any difference in your temp?

I usually just watch my oil temp. Drove 10 miles (Long Beach, CA) to my office and it never reached 225 F which seems to be (pre-removal) what it landed on under street and highway cruising.

Until I take it to the track I don't expect any real objective data.
************************************************** *****
Regarding air reaching the radiator behind the bowtie, it stands to reason a low pressure area IS created behind the bowtie and therefore I believe some air would flow into the low pressure area and reach the radiator. Having said that, the larger the surface area ft2, the more ft3/min air will reach the radiator at any given speed ft/min. At least that's my view.

Again, Ford removed the grill on the 2013/14 GT500 and GM made the flowtie...seems like it could only help. I'd be thankful with even a few degrees.

Just found this on it; http://www.roadandtrack.com/go/news/...t-z-28-flowtie

The change is enough to shove an additional 3 cubic meters of air through the grille per minute, and that extra air dropped the engine coolant and oil temperature by a full 2 degrees Fahrenheit during track work.

Meaning when not tracking the car it's probably not doing anything for engine temps.

same on the 1LE, I hated the big gold bow tie, took the rear deck one off, blacked out the front, then just got rid of it

Cool thing about the 1LE is the new front top grill is smaller. I'm sure your removal size looks tight.
