Bitspower radiator grill

Wondering if anyone has used the Bitspower Radiator Grill:

This one is supposed to be black aluminum, but the picture probably doesn't show the color properly. Also wondering if they have thermochill spacing? (I googled and see that the Bitspower UV grills have thermochill spacing, but can't seem to find any info on the Aluminum ones.)

I emailed them a while back to find out what kind of color it is.
It's not like the lian li brushed black, but it is anodized aluminum.

Here are the specs they gave me.. good thing I had it still in my email box ;)
Not sure if it helps.

I asked PPCs about these fitting a TC PA series rad. Vincent (Bitspower) responded not yet, but they were suppose to come out with some soon.

Thanks, guys. I was going to ask PPCs as well, but was hoping someone here had the grill.

I like the fact that these come with filters as well.

i've got the alluminium version, so i don't know how it's the black version.

the distance of the rad's holes (10.5 center to center, and 11.3 not 11.4 the max distance of the two other "holes") (sorry for my english)

Well, seeing the grill up close and personal, at least in the pics from stoner, I'm kinda worried about air flow through those mesh panels. They look very similar to a mesh panel I had on the front of a Cooler Master Mystique case.....and it blocked air flow more than helped it. I had to remove the panel to actually get any sort of air flow from the fan...and this was a Scythe S-Flex "F" fan, so it wasn't exactly a slouch of a fan.

i think the same thing and i'm going to change with the A.C. Ryan MeshxPanel

You could always try it with the grills on and off and see if it actually makes a difference in temps.
My guess is probably not.
I must say the grill is very nice looking
