I don't think it has actually been discussed on here, but I believe the MFP TBO front lip that Gary Molitor (1artworkz) makes actually does assist engine cooling by forcing more air through the radiator.

I noted this a few days ago when I was doing some higher-speed driving. The air temp was about the same, but the engine seemed to be running cooler than before the front lip.
I later on saw the bug splatter all over the front end and noted the direction the insects were headed when they impacted with the spoiler... up. :idea:
I would like to tape some strings all over the lip and do some driving with someone in front of me raking pictures to see exactly how it affects an aerodynamic change to the front end of the car, good idea?
The lip increases frontal area, but who really knows if it actually increases or decreases drag overall?
