Oh look! Someone finally made a grill to protect our radiator!

Better than nothing?

If we need to clip them in anyways, I'd think that it'd look better BEHIND the fins so that we could put an STi badge from the tS...just sayin

Why so much hate? The stock grill protects nothing and is therefore worse than useless.

As long as the mesh isn't too tight, airflow shouldn't be impeded too much.

That picture really makes me hate the BRZ bumper. It's seriously not as ugly as that picture makes it out to be though.

I put a gutter guard screen on the backside of my grill. I don't notice any higher temps, and it probably reduces cooling drag. I do find leaves and bugs in it, that I have to brush off on occasion, but nothing of size gets to the rad core.
