I just dont get what that shield is for in front of the intakes... I mean if the idea is to get them out of the engine bay in the flow of fresh air from outside, then wouldnt you want that side of the intakes free from obstruction? Or is that a bug shield of some sort? And also, with the intakes blocking/sucking air in front of the radiator, does that effect it's efficiency at all? Less air going through = less heat transfer?
