Anyone had over-heating issues after fitting Front Grills? Any issues with ShowChrome Trunk Replacement Shock?

[herring]

I am planning on installing grills on the front of my Spyder but was curious if anyone had any overheating issues after installation? Also, has anyone had an issue with the aftermarket ShowChrome trunk replacement shock? I installed the replacement and ended up going back to the OEM as the lid kept falling down. I verified the installation. I'm currently reaching out to SlingMods for a replacement

Thank you

No on both accounts

Some of the grill covers are too fine a mesh and restrict airflow. You'll most likely get heating issues if you go with one of these.

Great for keeping debris out. But won't do you much good if your pistons are melting...

I installed a set of magnetic hypnotic concepts from Sling mods and have had no issues with over heating. When I installed the magnets I used a 90 degree drill chuck with a 3/32 drill bit to drill pilot screw holes for the added screws for the install. It was one of the first mods I did back in May and have over 2700 miles on the machine in South Ga heat with no issues. They look good and keep most bugs from making it into the radiators. My temp gauge has never been over four bars hot.

So far the replacement struts from Slingmods are holding up for me. Both the seat and trunk OEM struts died within a year or so.
