I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Well, do some homework. You don't need to be going "that fast" for aerodynamics to "work."

well no shit sherlock, just so much as having a bird shit on ur car can change aerodynamics. What im saying is that the Downforce or smoothing of the air created by that grill is sooo negligable that its cost outwieghs its potential application.

show me actual flow charts of that grill and how it makes a difference at REALISTIC speeds.

Realistic speeds? You obviously didn't do the homework.
The Mugen kit is designed to effect air flow "beginning" at 55mph.

With local roads having a speed limit of 50-60, I think it's safe to say 55+ is a very "realistic" speed.

I asked you to show me a flow chart or some sort where it shows at what point it makes a NOTICABLE change in handling aerodynamics

effect air flow is so vague. That grill does not have noticable affects on the car other then lookin like complete ass.

i've got a flow chart on the mugen nsx-r and dc5-r but it's in jdm language in my jdm mugen parts catalog and i don't feel like translating..

i think that grill is made for air flow into the bay rather than down force. look at the design.
