Keep debris from hitting the Intercooler, and they look sweet!

Some people don't like seeing an open space there, but they look good!

I agree they look great but the gaping hole is for airflow to the inter cooler. We're these tested to not interfere with the air intake temps!

I promise you, these will not Restrict airflow to the CAC!
These block no more air to the CAC than the upper grille blocks air to the Radiator!

@Toddman34 @reider03 @princevalium Thanks y'all for your answer. I have a license plate holder in that spot, so I do not get to put the good looking addition on mine.

Same here. Can the plate holder be moved though?
