Style Or Performance: What Is Your Grille Modification For?

People can choose to buy and install a new front grille for any number of reasons. There are, however, two primary reasons why you'd want to explore grille modifications for your vehicle – performance

and style.

Performance

The grille at the front of your vehicle is an essential component of its reliable operation. Air flows into the engine bay through the grille, keeping it at peak operating temperature while you're driving. If your grille is not effective, your engine can begin to overheat - this, of course, causes it to stall, but it can also have a serious impact on the longevity of key components if they're exposed to consistently excessive temperature.

A custom grille will be designed to allow the maximum amount of air possible to flow through into your engine, keeping it operating at the right temperature even on hot days and fast drives.

Style

There are people who don't much care how their car looks. Those people, however, are very few and far between. For most of us, the way our vehicle looks is a very important thing - we want it to be a reflection of us. The grille is an integral part of this, as it forms a large part of the front of your vehicle - a good looking grille defines the whole front profile.

Custom grilles can differ from manufacturers’ grilles by adding stylish flair. This can be either in the core design, while sticking to the essential measurements of the vehicle to ensure a smooth fit, or through the addition of custom flourishes and accents – for example, the use of chrome is a great way to brighten any vehicle.

Which Is More Important?

When you're looking for a custom grille, should you focus more on performance or design?

The truth of the matter is that it's an entirely personal decision. But when you purchase a Zunsport grille, you don't have to choose between better performance and better looks - you always get both.

The custom front grilles at Zunsport are all designed to be as stylish as possible, subtly enhancing the front profile of your vehicle. Our grilles are also designed from the ground up to fundamentally improve engine cooling and air flow - so whichever grille you choose you'll get both style and functionality.
