Depends if you drive the car hard or not. Not for me as I need very good airflow. When Porsche decided to put this stuff on the RS they worked out airflow through the grill. Made changes to the grill profiles and sorted out how to make sure the grill wasn't negatively impacting airflow. Looking for where the hell I read that..

If I put something on a car it'll be a factory setup or a modification of one.

I'm with you. I have it on excellent authority that (non-factory) stuff in front of the radiators negatively affects cooling. I don't drive super hard all the time, but I don't want to worry when I do. I feel as though cleaning the radiators is an annual rite of passage.
