Opening /removing Radiator Grill

[brasil]

Hello S197ers

Today while I was washing my Mustang...I was looking at my Frontgrill.... I own a 08 Bullitt . and the front grilll has only a small "open area " where the air goes thru in direction of the radiator. Looks ugly - in my point of view. So I was thinging about , to cut out the blocks that "close" the rest of the grill with a Dremel.
Is there anything ( besides the orginality ) that speaks against this job ?

Why did Ford not let the grill complete open ? Does not make sense , to let the air out of the engine bay....

So what do you guys think about this idea ??

Greetings Jurgen

Ford left some of the slots in the front grille blocked for a very good reason; the radiator simply doesn't need the extra airflow and opening it up will make the engine take longer to reach normal operating temperature. This will have a negative effect on gas mileage and exhaust emissions.

Some dirtbag in Flint, Michigan stole my lower radiator grill around 2014. It actually looked pretty cool, but I had it fixed. I think the grille is useful for mileage and efficiency.

...thank you guys for your fast answers. So I will leave the grill alone.. and enjoy a good milage.
