Raleigh North Carolina and surrounding areas

Not really my grill I bet has more open area than the stock grill. If you'd like I can calculate the open sq.in in my grill and then compare that to a stock grill. If voz' is an overlay on top of the stock grill it's restricting the grill opening more. His also has a lot of covered area relative to the open area.

 

For my grill yes for voz's I think it's an overlay

 

ohhh....I'm with @Sandman614 thought the were all the "cut the shit out of yo factory grill" kinda thing

 

My grill is a factory grill. All factory shit cut on the middle and replaced with the stoshi (sp)
Material

 

That's what I thought

 

I've seen a lot of the grills like voz has that are overlays on top the factory ones. I could be mistaken though voz's could have cut the center out. @Sandman614 should know he had it off installing the cooler

 

Also he has that big light bar behind the grill blocking airflow

 

it looked like slitted sheet metal last i saw it instead of screen mesh, honestly i didn't look that close

if i'm wrong i'm wrong

 

@voz post a pic of your satushi grill please. Mine is the raptor style mesh

 

It

It is I can't remember though how big the slits were.

 

Just in case this actually happens and Kevin is wrong, I want to quote this post for posterity

 

No it's slitted sheet metal that's all polished up. He's not wrong about that

 

no shame, i've been wrong before, will be again

the way i've felt the last couple months i'm sure i missed a lot of details i normally would not.

Hopefully this recent surgery has me closer to par soon. I truly feel better than i have in months, if not sore as hell for all the knife wounds !

 

ah man...I've been out of the loop as of late. Sorry you're having issues...and hope all is well or at least getting to that point.

 

Yup

 

Glad you are starting to feel better already!

 

I don't think it's as bad of an air block as you're making it out to be, otherwise the factory grill I have would be just as bad.

Either way I think it's plenty of airflow

I can't see chit with that glare

 

Ok yeah mine is really similar except black and recessed a lot more. @Sandman614 was right they are pretty much the same thing. For some reason I was thinking yours had thicker dividers and a big filled in area that said Toyota. Since that's the case I'd venture to guess the light bar has more to do with airflow issues than the grill.

Not the best pic but here's mine

 

and there is that fucking glare !

i guess the light bar is what made me think it was a layover

Those slits are a lot more restrictive than a mesh screen, even a screen has resistance ( watch your house windows when the wind blows)

The radiator itself is a huge restriction, but its one you want

 

You'd be surprised plus the factory grill the big center portion is rounded more to allow air to flow over better than a big brick. I agree the grill has plenty.of airflow through it.
