[nic]

Any negatives to a grill delete? can any harm be done to the car by opening it up with no grill? :eyebulge:

Not 100% certain but IMO doing a grill delete or removing the honeycomb mesh will actually hurt cooling. Believe of not, Ford does put alot of thought into airflow and cooling. Take for example the GT350's grill. The center opening is about 50% of the grill size and it was mentioned in a Youtube video that this was done on purpose to maximize cooling and airflow. They designed certain areas to be blocked off so they can direct airflow in the correct path. Dremeling off these areas would probably be counterproductive from what they originally designed it to do. But hey, who knows if it actually makes a difference in day to day driving or not. Do the delete and just watch your temps.

The only issue is more bugs to clean out of the grille

My Temps have definitely dropped since switching to the rtr upper and lower and they are very "open". The 13/14 GT500 went to an open grill to improve cooling. I'm pretty sure the "closed" grills are to improve high speed aerodynamics and eek out MPGs.

Actually from my understanding its more about Aero and MPG.
