@Hollywoo0220 Any aftermarket grill design you recommend for this effect to take place? I've looked since you posted this but haven't had a whole lot of luck. I was looking for something to enhance the incoming air where the stock air intake receives its air but found nothing.
In your case though, it's hard to say the power loss is due to the intake air temperature since the temperature of the air going into your engine is only 10 degrees hotter than ambient. That's actually fantastic. 105F Ambient vs 115F going into your engine. Your intercooler is kicking arse.

I may sound a little bitchy in saying this but that Honda emblem space on the front of it bothers me. It does seem like the grill itself will allow some additional airflow through but if you look at the size of the emblem vs the parts that let airflow through, it's looks like it's blocking 1/5th of the airflow that could be going through if it wasn't there at all. The 'H' symbol part takes up three columns of space. I don't need a big red H on front of my car. It looks nice though. I'll hold off to see if I can find a version of this grill that is all for airflow. The grille is cool though. If I can't find one, I may stick with this one since it appears it may be better than stock.
Just do not not apply the emblem and smartly mark/drill your own inlets through the emblem placard?I may sound a little bitchy in saying this but that Honda emblem space on the front of it bothers me.

I'd consider replacing my grill if I could get one like the pro design without the emblem space.I may sound a little bitchy in saying this but that Honda emblem space on the front of it bothers me.

They probably just keep that up so people will feel like they got the last one.
You'll soon find out the emblem-less grill will reveal another airflow blockage behind the emblem, namely the center support bracket for the grill. It's non-removable built into the bumper structure. Depending on the color of your car, it can be quite visible head on. It'll look better if you have a darker color car. Anyhoo, the aftermarket grill allows much better airflow into the radiator to cool down the innards. I prefer function over form any day, so no emblem and badge needed on this bad boy.I may sound a little bitchy in saying this but that Honda emblem space on the front of it bothers me.
