Radiator mesh grills - flow area
I am installing mesh grills to protect my radiators on my 2000 s. I am planning on going with 60% open area mesh. Is this enough for a street car?

This guy says probably not...
If you are talking about a flat piece of metal with holes drilled, (as in that which every honda/acura has covering their grille, bumper, hood, etc...) this will adversely impact airflow. And, we boxsters don't have much airflow over the radiators to spare. My box came with a pair of mesh grilles covering the rad inlets, but they were a woven wire, so very little surface area, and far less wind resistance than a flat piece of metal with holes. As a general rule, if something is listed as "universal" fit, assume they mean honda/acura. -Brad |
If it looks like window screen, it will work fine. In fact, that is what I have been using for four years: aluminum window screen from Home Depot...

perforated mesh
I was hoping to use some material that really looks good like perforated mesh.................round holes with the appropriate flow area

Protect your radiators from what?

Airborn FOD.....bugs leaves etc. Have a look at radiator ducts on any race car
