    I ordered a Challenge grill. I think it looks really good. I also hope that this will help reduce the temperature in the engine bay? Was heat reduction the real intention of the design? Thanks

    I'd be surprised if there is realistically any difference with street driving. I bought one strictly for looks, and noticed no difference in oil or water temp readings before and after installing the challenge grill...the engine compartment gets very warm both ways...as hot as it gets, I think my former 360 got hotter in there! At least the 355 has a greater number of vents on the top of the cover than the 360 that has the vents along the sides of the rear engine compartment glass- if you open the 360 hood after a long drive you're initially greeted with quite a wave of hot air..

    Regardless of if it makes any noticable difference in compartment/engine heat with street driving, I'd say the challenge grill is a required accessory for the 355- such a unique look... similar to any convertible (ferrari or otherwise) should be required to be driven with the top down on a sunny 60+ degree day :):D
