Re: Over-heating a concern?
Here is what I got, but you might want to check the prices, I think they have gone down somewhat.
The part # for the stainless bottom grill only is 24-4117 (no blockheater hole). The price is $85.83 plus shipping and tax if applicable.
The part # for the black powder coat is 20-4117 and is $103.00. The black powder coat generally takes 4-6 weeks as it is a special order.

Someone asked how shiny the stainless is - it goes really well with the chrome package which I have on my 08. I find myself smiling when see it because I think it looks a little like a rap music artist with a mouth full of capped teeth - lots of 'bling'
Anyways, I like the chrome but the powder coat might look pretty cool if your paint was black.

I paid $155 for all three pieces in the stainless, $85 for one third of the product seems a little steep.

I will go for black if I buy. It will blend in with the current look of the front end, actually providing a bit more contrast than the stock look.

Ordered Mine
I walked out this afternoon and noticed a mark on the right front bumper. It was obviously a rock injury, but had it struck a couple of feet to the side it could have put a hole in my radiator. So I went to cloud rider and ordered the mesh grill cover in black. I'm sure it will be many weeks before it arrives, since all the black ones are special order.

Re: Over-heating a concern?
So, I bought my grill inserts to help keep a little more heat in the engine area - so I can get into EV a little sooner (or stay longer).
I'm actually thinking that it will make a bigger difference after I've parked for a bit and then start up again. I have a feeling that right now the engine cools off a bit too much and then needs to "reheat" when I get going again.
... anyways, my question is this: do you think I need to be concerned about over heating the FEH if I leave the grill inserts in all summer?
I'm thinking that I may leave one out (maybe the middle) for summer but does anyone think I should leave another one out?

Re: Over-heating a concern?
I don't know, the FEH still uses an ICE, and the issue with any ICE is heat, because that is what exploding gasoline produces - heat.
