I dont know what car your talking about but the vast majority of cars have radiators that are above the liscense plate, and even if they are below the liscense plate slightly, causing the plate to block partial airflow to the radiator, the radiator can dissipate heat perfectly fine even with such a 'massive' :roll: obstruction.
Let it be known that if a front plate causes any noticable difference in your running temps, that your problem is NOT the front plate, youve got far greater problems, like a blown water pump or one with poor seals, a slipping waterpump belt, a clogged radiator, etc.
An arguement that a front plate blocks the radiator (which again, in most cars the radiator is behind the grille, or the majority of it), is a pretty weak arguement. Add that to the petition and it will more than likely lessen the credibility of any other arguements on there since its so easy to disprove.
