Just a thought, every one is talking about the better airflow. How much of the grille actually lets air through? I'm sure everyone has noticed how many modern cars have a grille that is mostly false, with plenty of plastic blocking out any airflow.

For reference if you don't know what I'm talking about.

Let's look at the the open area here.

So the flowtie is the only real difference? The area from the side to about a foot into the grille looks false. So the change the negative reaction crowd wants is acceptable with little to no airflow change. What, like 3 CFM from the flowtie if it's moved? Cut an extra inch toward the driving lights, make it an optional bumper.
Well the Csmaros lower grille is all open and you can see a full rad behind it...But i dont really get the comments about better cooling and no heat soak as ive never heard of a single issue of LT1 overheating even remotely.
So maybe, just maybe if the air flow has been increased then it is for the benefit of the LT1 successor which could be coming in 2020. Btw the extractor hood is mainly a downforce feature proly because the front spoiler seems to have been raised a bit (more curb friendly?).
