Xpel leaves the radiator open for bugs, the novistretch solves that and yes, it does not overheat the car.

Belt and suspenders. Do you drive around all the time with that thing on? If you do, why bother with Xpeling the front? If you don't, why take the pic with the bra on? No offense intended, just curious.

I've read here that it helps with rocks in your radiator, especially on long road trips. Something not covered by warranty.
