I don't like the location of the front plate. What happens if I lower the location myself?
If you place the plate in the grille opening where it reduces the open area of the grille, you may experience overheating on hot days, depending on how you use your Solstice. The open area of the grille starts about half-way down the grilles. If you place the plate lower than the grilles, it is possible that you may interrupt the airflow that is necessary to direct air into the radiator. If you decide to do this yourself, keep an eye on your coolant temperature to avoid overheating your engine - this is an example of a modification that, if you damage your engine, may fall under the Magnuson-Moss act and coverage for a powertrain related failure could potentially be denied as a direct result of you modifying the intended design of the air flow.
