Front license screen
I put a front license screen on front of my 03 and I can't open it up behind it to let more air flow.the car runs rough,even took it out on the interstate for a 60 mile run,at cruzing speed it acts like it's starving for fuel.does anybody know what might be wrong.the car has a black wing filter in which it was on it when I purchased the car from a dealership.

Mine is open to my intercooler, made a noticeable difference in cooling.
Did you start having issues after the install ?
Can't see how that is an issue, check your fuel filter, plug wires, plugs, all the simple stuff first.

I have one on mine and what I don't understand is why you can't open it up, All I did was take a 2 inch hole saw and cut away.

We'll I did cut out behind it but my motor runs very rough like it's not getting enough air are fuel.i made a plate to cover the hole up and it runs find.even try to reopen again but stii the same.could it be that my car has been reprogrammed are some.i bought it from a dealership so I don't really knows what's been done except for the after market filter.just wondering maybe it's had a tuner put on it keeping the computer from adjusting my air flow.im just not sure.

There no wires cut the only problem my engine does not run smooth if it has the extra air to my engine department.with the original license cover my engine runs great.just when it's open in the front that it runs rough.maybe I need to post this thread in tech section.

Can you pull the codes and let us know what they are? Pull them or check them either way!
It sounds like for one reason or another when it is getting the extra push of fresh air the MAF is not able to adjust for it, almost like some is getting in unmetered!
Check all your connections again to make sure there are no leaks so to speak!
Let us know what you find!
Thanks,Matt
