Their design is the same as TBW's 350Z design. Had two of them for my 350Z for 250K miles. No rattle issues so long as they're fastened tightly. If you have rattle you could line the connecting edges with speaker foam.

Only concern I have with a 2-piece design is that if you make contact with something like a blown out truck tire on the interstate, the impact will bend the plates and they wont align perfectly. Then, much later, when you run over a dead possum, the bent plate will bend more, make contact with the road, grind itself to fiery oblivion, and you'll need to break the radiator core support to remove it when you're on the side of a rural highway in buttfvck Nebraska.

Oddly specific, I know...
