Default Oettinger front center grill opening, does it need to stay clear?

For those who know the oettinger front(should be almost everybody here i think).
The center opening, should it stay clear at all times for maximum cooling?
Or can a license plate be put against the mesh?

I have had my license plate against it since i have the front.
But today somebody told me it might be letting through enough air.
Reason i did this is because i did not want to put holes in the bumper for the license plate.
So this was the only option.
If its better to keep it clear then i could consider a sticker license plate.

Default Sounds complicated. You should just trade me for my stock one... comes w/ free license plate holes.

I dont think a plate in front should be an issue.

Default Well, it does reduce cooling, but if not affecting temps, then don't worry..

OTOH, if modded, might want to move it.
